Re: Error to do with loading module when starting XMMS

try 'ldd `which xmms`'.  If all of the libraries that xmms is looking to load
are happy, its probably a plugin that xmms is using that's causing the problem.
Actually, if you see it three times, its probably three different missing
things.

If you 'cd `xmms-config --plugin-dir`' and try ldd-ing the various .so files in
the directories, you should find your answer.
