Build on Mandrake 9, it should work on Redhat too.

Install it by typing rpm -i xmms-coverviewer_x.x.x_i586.rpm as root

The last version should also be integrated in Mandrake Cooker tree, so using drakupdate, etc... You should get it!

It should work on deb-based distrib (Debian, Knoppix, etc...)

Install it by typing dpkg -i xmms-coverviewer_x.x.x_i386.deb as root

You may want to use apt-get install xmms-coverviewer... By using this link to configure your apt-repository, you'll probably be able to use a more recent version than the package on sourceforge.

the ebuild was added to portage tree...

a simple emerge xmms-coverviewer should do the trick

You should use this if you want to configure the install path, use anoter distrib/cpu...

Untar with tar xvzf xmms-coverview-x.x.x.tar.gz or tar xvjf xmms-coverview-x.x.x.tar.bz2

Go in the directory "xmms-coverview-x.x.x", and type ./configure

Finally make install (as root))
