Don't use --force or --nodeps unless you know what you are doing. In this case, both the person asking the question, and the one giving the answer, do not appear to know! Running around waving --force and --nodeps is like running with scissors. You might do okay, but chances are good you'll poke your eye out. > As long as you install MP3 and MPG123 your all set.

These two packages will get you working with XMMS and mp3 support xmms-mp3-1.2.7-13.p xmms-1.2.7-13.p This package will get your working with mpg321 in console: mpg321-0.2.10-1 Where to find these packages you ask?

Seems more intelligent than sending out a broke dick package. XMMS, or the X Multimedia System is not just an MP3 player. It was shipped with Red Hat to play .ogg files, which are not encoded in a proprietary, patented format. The reason for not including mp3 support was clearly documented in the Release Notes, which we all read during installation, and once more after we got our system working (right?). -Ryan -- Powered by Red Hat Linux 8.0 -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
