Why not use a player that is supported "out of the box" and spend your time using the system instead of wrestling with it? When you're a bit more familiar with Linux and CentOS, that would be a good time to start digging into things. People here, at least in my experience, are extremely patient and helpful, but perhaps that sentiment might wane in the face of a steady stream of self inflicted wounds.. 8-) And now the answer... Those versions aren't available in the yum repository because Redhat hasn't yet updated their packages in RHEL4. CentOS tracks their changes. If you want these newer versions of GTK and the python extensions, you can certainly divert off the beaten track and install them yourself. It might work without incident. It might work, but break other applications. It might not work at all. 8-) Best regards,
