I try to download source code ,but it wants GTK 1.2.2. I can't find that anywhere.

and GTK 1 is not one of them.
So, you probably got the wrong source.
Also, please define "it installs, but it doesn't run" - how are you trying to run it? AFAICS it works (I just tried), and it also does not come with a GUI. You could use lxmusic for a GUI.
XMMS is very out of date now. I am not even sure you can even compile GTK1 on a modern system anymore.
XMMS2, as pointed is a music server, and has no GUI. I remember there is some client software which looks like the classic xmms, at leas Slackware has it if I am not wrong, but I don't remember the name.
Eventually I went into use audacious. It has a GTK interface which is very close to the original XMMS, and also suports winamp skins. I recommend you to check it out!
You updated pacmans database without updating all of the software on the machine. You are going to have mix matched software that will break the machine.

All those years of my using Linux, I had no ideas audacious could do that. It even has my favorite skin from xmms, Refugee. xmms still work great on Slackware, though. Probably where hedron is coming from. There's also the qmmp to try.
