[SOLVED] Installing Enlightenment

pliqui · 11-25-2011, 03:29 PM

Hello my fellow debian users.

I'ts been a while since i tried to tweak my box, after marriage get back to windows (wife to blame) but always kept my servers with debian.

Now i want to VM a new debian desktop to start again my java programming, but i dont want to use gnome.

I want to try the Enlightenment desktop, so i find a couple of pages with some tutorials and i was trying this one Debian squeeze with E17, everything went good, but i found a problem with 1 package

Code:

configure: error: Package requirements (
  xcb
  xcb-shape
  eina >= 1.0.999
  ecore >= 1.0.999
  ecore-ipc >= 1.0.999
) were not met:

No package 'xcb-shape' found

This is using the easy_e17.sh script

Any help will be great or another working guide.

Thanks

I don't use either debian or E17, but have you tried the obvious, ie. apt-get install xcb-shape ?

Damn, you were almost right, i installed the follow packages, but...

Code:

root@pliqui:/tmp# aptitude search xcb |grep ^i
i A libx11-xcb1                     - Xlib/XCB interface library
i A libxcb-atom1                    - utility libraries for X C Binding -- atom
i A libxcb-aux0                     - utility libraries for X C Binding -- aux

i   xcb                             - Pigeon holes for your cut and paste select

i missed this one libxcb-shape0-dev, that's all

now got this message
