Nein, ich bin zu blöd zum lesen 
*argh* und das mir … wo ich doch gerne mal ein „RTFM“ hinausposaune. Die Antwort findet sich in der FAQ:
Compilation:
c1: The CVS version won’t compile, but the tarball does
c2: Why do I keep getting „undefined reference to `gtk_widget_show’“ and similar?
c3: I’ve installed gtk/glib 1.2.2 but it still says I an older version?
c4: xmlmemory.h was not found when I try to compile XMMS, what’s up with that?
Running:
r1: Why do I keep getting „Gdk-ERROR **: an x io error occurred“ when I try to use XMMS?
r2: When using Gnome / Enlightenment the playlist window got lost somewhere in my virtual desktops what
should I do? I’m all out of bread crumbs.
r3: Why do I keep getting „Gdk-WARNING **: shmat failed!“ in Solaris?
r4: When I use the OpenGL plugin it only works one time and the next time it crashes XMMS.
r5: If I use the OpenGL plugin with my Voodoo card. it appears to use a lot of memory.
r6: Why does XMMS windows behave differently than my other windows?
r7: Why does XMMS have 5-6 running instances which each takes x% of my memory, isn’t 5-6*x%
memory A REAL WASTE?
r8: Why do I keep getting „libxmms.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory“ ?
r9: My XMMS don’t output any sound and it seems to go about 3 times as fast.
r10: Sound is slow and static.
r11: XMMS works OK as root, but not as a user.
Skins:
s1: Where do I install skins?
s2: My Xserver crashes when I try to change skin, what can I do?
s3: Does XMMS support .WSZ files?
s4: Where can I find more skins/tutorials?
General:
g1: Is there a mailing list for XMMS?
g2: How do I unsubscribe from the mailing list?
g3: Is there a archive for the mailing list?
g4: Why doesn’t XMMS support VQF?
g5: Can I use Winamp plugins with XMMS?
g6: I found a bug.
g7: What is XMMS?
Compilation:
c1: The CVS version won’t compile, but the tarball does
You are probably missing some .m4 files made by the gtk/glib installation. For RH5.2 systems (others?) copy
the files located in /usr/local/share/aclocal to /usr/share/aclocal and try again. (You also need libtool
installed.)
c2: Why do I keep getting „undefined reference to `gtk_widget_show’“ and similar?
c3: I’ve installed gtk/glib 1.2.2 but it still says I an older version?
You probably have an old version installed of gtk and glib that came with your linux distribution which is
confusing the system. You will need to remove the old versions include files and the gtk-config file before it
will work.
for slackware:
rm -f /usr/X11R6/bin/gtk-config
rm -f /usr/X11R6/include/glib.h
rm -rf /usr/X11R6/include/glib
rm -rf /usr/X11R6/include/gtk
rm -rf /usr/X11R6/include/gdk
for redhat:
rpm -e gtk-devel
if that fails, remove it by hand
rm -f /usr/bin/gtk-config
rm -f /usr/include/glib.h
rm -rf /usr/include/glib
rm -rf /usr/include/gtk
rm -rf /usr/include/gdk
if configure failed once, don’t forget to remove config.cache and then rerun configure
c4: xmlmemory.h was not found when I try to compile XMMS, what’s up with that?
Unfortunately, XMMS 1.2.3 will not compile against libxml versions older than 1.7.0.
Running:
r1: Why do I keep getting „Gdk-ERROR **: an x io error occurred“ when I try to use
XMMS?
This is because you’re running an older system with libc5 and you don’t have Thread Safe X libs. You might
want to download these thread aware xlibs and install them, just untar them into /usr/X11R6/lib (or
appropriate path) NOTE: do NOT do this while X is running.
r2: When using Gnome / Enlightenment the playlist window got lost somewhere in
my virtual desktops what should I do? I’m all out of bread crumbs.
Edit the ~/.xmms/config file and change the playlist_x= and playlist_y= to sane values.
r3: Why do I keep getting „Gdk-WARNING **: shmat failed!“ in Solaris?
Solaris (2.5, 2.6, 2.7) has insufficient IPC settings by default for some products that use shared memory.
You need to place this in /etc/system:
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax = 8388608
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni = 0x1000
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg = 0x100

r4: When I use the OpenGL plugin it only works one time and the next time it
crashes XMMS.
This is a glide bug on Voodoo3/Banshee cards. You need to get the latest glide version at
http://www.3dfxgamers.com/view.asp?IOID=31
r5: If I use the OpenGL plugin with my Voodoo card. it appears to use a lot of
memory.
This is the Voodoo card memory that is being added to the XMMS processes. Looks funny but ain’t
important.
r6: Why does XMMS windows behave differently than my other windows?
Since XMMS disables the window managers titlebars, the window manager is unable to raise/lower/move
XMMS as it’s configured to do.
r7: Why does XMMS have 5-6 running instances which each takes x% of my
memory, isn’t 5-6*x% memory A REAL WASTE?
XMMS is not using that memory for each instance, it shares the memory between the instances, so if you
have 6 entries in your „ps aux“ output which takes 5mb, XMMS is using 5 mb, and not 6x5mb.
r8: Why do I keep getting „libxmms.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file
or directory“ ?
You probably have some plugins linked against it, just make a symlink.
ln -s xmms-config --prefix/lib/libxmms.so.1 xmms-config --prefix/lib/libxmms.so.0
r9: My XMMS don’t output any sound and it seems to go about 3 times as fast.
Whoops, you have been using the diskwriter plugin, press ctrl + p and change the output plugin to either
OSS or ESD. You might want to check the configuration for the diskwriter plugin, the path will contain a
couple of well sized wavs.
Soviel dazu.
