Dear Friends,
I am looking for a GUI mp3 player for linux. I asked Mr. Google but he is giving me text based, command line or console based players. I even downloaded one package called zinf-2.2.5 but it has a long compilation required. There are a lot of bits and pieces available on the net like tools, plugins etc.
I am looking for one which is fully self equipped, that comes with an 'install' shell script file that will install it into my selected directory and will give me a simple 'player_name' script to double click and run ( just as we simply install and run mozilla firefox or thunderbird ).
Thanks in advance and Regards,
Rony.

IIRC, OP uses RHES 3, and hence will need to do the usualy getting of libmp3 and installing it first.
There is also XMMS.

Surely you don't have to hand-compile this stuff.

Why not apt-get install xmms? Or rpm -i xmms, whatever.

Thanks Pankaj,
It works. I went to the other player sites but they don't have a direct install. There is some plugin or the other support required. Xmms is already in my RHEL as I found out when I tried to load its rpm but there are some proprietory or liscence issues due to which, RHEL does not support mp3 in xmms. The rpms for some players are upto RH8 or 9 so thats another problem.
For the newbies, realplayer is the best bet.
Here is the set of links for the realplayer download
http://www.real.com/linux/?src=040104freeplayer,100404rpplusalt_1
"Installation Instructions for Real 10 for Linux. - Ensure that the .bin file you downloaded is executable. You can make the .bin file executable by running the "chmod a+x RealPlayer10GOLD.bin" command from a terminal window. - Run the .bin file by typing "./RealPlayer10GOLD.bin". Follow the prompts provided to finish installing the player. - When you launch the player for the first time, a set-up assistant will take you through configuring your player."

Thanks everyone and Regards,

It's sad that even on a Free Software platform, proprietary software wins over Free Software because of daft distribution policies.
I know, I know, the end user does not care about Freedom, only about ease of install and use.

I run Debian, and I don't have a problem with xmms and MP3 files. My system plays them just fine.

Yeps. But check his statement above "For *newbies* ,realplayer is the best bet" He hasn't disregarded other players.

I second that. Further, realplayer has a noticably slower startup time & takes up more resource in general. XMMS has no such issues & works beatifully.

I am sure that later you will want, JAVA, FlashPlayers, browser (email client and file manager) opening doc, xls, sxc, .... automatically. In short you need SuSE. SuSE comes preconfigured for all this.

I didn't say anything to the contrary. I'm talking about redhat's distribution policy. They're the only distro with this problem, and unfortunately, have the largest market share among newbies.
As far as newbies are concerned, redhat is linux.

But newbies are the ones who need to be convinced. Old hens already use free software.

Or get the binaries, which you can just install and run.
I hope someone out there has had this problem or atleast seen it, and can offer some help.
The problem I am having is installing PostNuke on my FC3 system. I get to the point where it checks the file permissions and if just fails. I set the file permission to the recommended ones. And on top of that I tried changing the onwer of the directories. Still no joy. The respective directories are owned by apache and now all have perms of 777. Still my PostNuke is not seeing them as writable. I know the problem is not in PostNuke. Either some security feature in httpd or php because this is not the only php application that is having this problem.

I understand how you feel Philip. I have RHEL installed in my machine only due to the course I am doing. Too many linux flavours cannot be installed together in one HDD and constant loading, reloading, formatting may damage its MBR or other sectors. My XP is the main OS where I do most of my computing like email, office, scanner, printing, surfing etc and important data is stored there. Even my linux downloads are done in XP which gives my modem above 5 Kbps speed. The linux free driver limits it to 1.5 Kbps. The vfat partition is then mounted in linux and the downloaded files are transferred. All linux related emailing is done in linux.
The newbies cannot jump straight into complex settings and compilations in linux or for that matter any OS. They have to go step by step with the simpler options first and then go deeper and deeper. The information available from the experts here is most usefull and precious and I keep all the emails intact for future reference too.
Best Wishes,
Rony.

I have three linux flavours installed simultaneously on my box at home. If you can dual boot windows and linux then why not triple boot linux, linux and linux?
Try disableing selinux /etc/init.d/selinux stop and then give it a shot.
that will solve the issue
