I'm trying to install this so I can install the newest version of xmms. Anyway when I run the rpm it says:

Installation failed:
file /usr/lib/libglib-1.2.so.0 from install of glib-1.2.2-1 conflicts with file from package libglib1.2-1.2.10-11mdk
file /usr/lib/libgmodule-1.2.so.0 from install of glib-1.2.2-1 conflicts with file from package libglib1.2-1.2.10-11mdk
file /usr/lib/libgthread-1.2.so.0 from install of glib-1.2.2-1 conflicts with file from package libglib1.2-1.2.10-11mdk

How would I delete the older 1 or by pass this?

If you are sure you can safely upgrade glib to version 1.2.2 without affecting other installed packages, then force the install of the rpm package with

rpm -Uvh --force <packagename>

Are you using

rpm -i (install)

or

rpm -U (upgrade)

<edit>

BTW... Since you are using a rpm based distro, you would be advised to take some time and review the rpm manpage (man rpm) and http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/

Beat me to it. :)

Do you need the newest version of xmms?

Check your Mandrake installation cd's as most distros already include a xmms package and plugins and such.
