xmms (newest ebuild) doesn't work

[naggeldak]

hi, after doing 'emerge -u world' neither xmms nor zinf work. zinf only segfaults, but that isn't so bad since i only use xmms to listen to my music.

i hope you can help me:

# emerge xmms -p
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

that's all, xmms doesn't react. when i do ctrl+c, it says:

Some possibilities:

hmmm. had you previous installed any masked packages? I'm thinking gtk/gtk+/gtk2 as if you had then emerge -u world will have downgraded them (use -Uu to stop that)

Is it only xmms and zinf that have problems? and are they your only audio programs - if they are, it could be your alsa / oss driver...
can you play wavs using aplay? (assuming alsa).

try re-emerging id3lib (xmms is complaining about a tag assertion, which could hypothetically be an id3 tag its referring to).

I also had a very similar problem. I upgraded XMMS, and when I went to move its main window, it disappeared. After that, I couldn't get it to show again. **I think** I solved my problem by upgrading to the latest version of metacity - try that. (I solved my problem somewhere in the middle of the upgrade from 2.3.0 to 2.3.1)

I use the unstable tree.

Yes, cplay and aplay do work.

Thanks, I will re-emerge id3lib and metacity, I hope that helps.

Edit: It didn't worked, but ATM I'm re-emerging all of xmms' dependencies in their needed version...

Edit2: Damn, it still doesn't work

I have exactly the same problem as naggeldak. I'm currently trying to re-emerge xmms and its related packages, but I'm not hopeful of it working.

Anyone else with this problem and/or a solution?
