GooM multimedia Visualzation
Posted: 6. Apr 2013, 17:07
Salix/Slack 14 Xfce
Some may be familiar with artful psychedelic videos that will run during an Audio multimedia event by Xmms, Parol, VLC or Clementine players. These are a nice feature as an alternative to the player displaying a Static jpg or nothing at all.
My install is does not have this action visualization for the players. There are a few to choose from but one of the more popular is GooM.
I suppose being that I installed Salix 14 as a beta that some packages might have been held back. That is Ok as I really like this install. However GooM is not available in Gslapt nor Slackbuilds. If you have the new Salix 14 and need the package here is how I obtained GooM and installed Goom.
While this link is for Slack 13.37 it will run just fine in Slack 14.

Once Downloaded I placed it in a subDirectory for no reason other then Neatness.
Before install, First check perhaps in Gslapt the listed required supporting packages.
I had to add
And of course install goom-2k4.0
I opened a terminal in that directory and installed with all supporting packages in place.
The complete list is as follows
And now GooM
