For some reason i cant install XMMS because i am being told i dont have Glib!!! I am sure that i do have it installed!

[code:1]
checking for GLIB - version >= 1.2.2... no
*** The glib-config script installed by GLIB could not be found
*** If GLIB was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the GLIB_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to glib-config.
configure: error: *** GLIB >= 1.2.2 not installed - please install first ***
[/code:1]

(out of konstruct) ==>
[code:1]
[root@localhost glib]# make install
[===== NOW BUILDING: glib-2.2.3 =====]
[fetch] complete for glib.
[checksum] complete for glib.
[extract] complete for glib.
[patch] complete for glib.
==> Building misc/pkgconfig as a dependency
[configure] complete for glib.
[build] complete for glib.
[install] complete for glib.
[root@localhost glib]#
[/code:1]

what am i meant to do to fix this?

Can you execute the script glib-config on the command line?
(is it in your PATH?)
If not try
locate glib-config
and if it's found then add the directory it is in to your PATH.

i already tried doing this, and the only result i got was a glib-config in one of the folders in konstruct.

Just to be sure:
Did you run "updatedb" (as root) to update the search index
before saying "locate glib-config"?

Hmmm. Strange.

Disclaimer: I don't really know what konstruct does or tries to do there. But you could try to install the glib from your distro (including the -devel package if any) or is that one too old?
