Error Trying To Install Kiba-Dock on Ubuntu Gutsy 64
I was following the instructions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=554127&page=7
I got as far as the Code:
sudo make install Code:
Making install in src |
It means launcher.o wasn't compiled with the -fPIC flag. Recompile with the -fPIC flag. You can do it like this...
Code:
CC="gcc -fPIC" ./configure --prefix=<DIR> --libdir=<DIR>/lib64 |
What directory would that/those be? I tried with /usr for both as was being used in the other guide, but I don't really know enough about Linux directories to know what it is supposed to be. And I found the folder /usr/lib64, which I took as a good sign. I got the error message:

The prefix that you want to install to. It defaults to /usr/local if not specified. Clean the kiba-plugins source tree and rebuild the package with -fPIC.
Code:
make distclean Code:
cd akamaru/ && |
Thanks so much! It works, just with a few glitches and settings I need to work out.
::::Edit:::: More glitches than I was noticing at first: 1. After reboot, a big white box with black outline appears at the end of dock. It goes away if I stop the dock and start it again, but is always there after reboot. 2. The Firefox launcher causes various problems. It started booting to address "0", so I changed the launch command from "firefox 0" to "firefox" to get that back. Then, as soon as I close Firefox, the dock closes. If I restart the dock, the firefox launcher is gone again. 3. The icons don't line up properly with physics turned on - they're all offset in slightly varying positions each time. Also with physics turned on, the icons don't auto-hide, just the dock. 4. I clicked the enable button for "Gnome Menu", but it doesn't appear. 5. I dropped the folder of all my music onto it after enabling stacks, and the music simply disappeared. It wasn't on the hard drive anymore, or on the dock. I even ran a search of the computer to find it, and there was nothing. Not a very pleasant error, although at least I still had most if not all on my Mac. ::::Edit Again:::: 6. When I just opened Pidgin (the contact list, it was already running), the dock closed. Think that was the second or third time - knew I had been forgetting something. Any help fixing any or all of the above would be greatly appreciated. |
