Hey all.

I've been encoding more and more of my CD's into .ogg files, but I've been
having no end of problems with the plug-ins for Linux.

I'm running Debian stable (potato) with some unstable and testing stuff
thrown in for good measure.
The stable version of XMMS would work, but would crash a lot, so I looked
through this list and found that the newer versions are better, so I updated
to the version in unstable (1.2.4), and found I had the same problem.
So I kept looking, and found that compiling from CVS is probably better
still, so I got CVS working, downloaded the files, and ran the autogen.sh
script, which said I needed gettext and automake.
So I installed gettext and automake from debian stable, but now I get this error
when the configure script for xmms runs:

./configure: line 588: syntax error near unexpected token `AM_CONFIG_HEADER(config.h)'
./configure: line 588: `AM_CONFIG_HEADER(config.h)'

I can't find the old plug-in for xmms, so I can't get my old version working
again, but my new version is busted too, and the CVS won't configure.

Freeamp plain and simple doesn't work. Crashes on anything ogg related, period.

I'm getting extremely frustrated, and I'm thinking about packing the whole
damn thing in. WTF's wrong with my setup, and can anyone help me beat it into
shape?

Thanks!

Of course, the .oggs that do work are kick-ass. 8-)
