Enlightenment Window Manger Help!
Hey guys, I am using Slack 9.0 and am trying to install the Enlightenment WM. Anyways, when I first used ./configure to get it up and running it told me I needed IMLib so I got the latest version from the EMW website. I compiled it, installed it, and now Enlightenment STILL tells me I don't have IMLib installed. It says this in the terminal:
checking for imlib-config... /usr/local/bin/imlib-config checking for IMLIB - version >= 1.9.8... no *** Could not run IMLIB test program, checking why... *** The test program compiled, but did not run. This usually means *** that the run-time linker is not finding IMLIB or finding the wrong *** version of IMLIB. If it is not finding IMLIB, you'll need to set your *** LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, or edit /etc/ld.so.conf to point *** to the installed location Also, make sure you have run ldconfig if that *** is required on your system *** *** If you have an old version installed, it is best to remove it, although *** you may also be able to get things to work by modifying LD_LIBRARY_PATH ERROR: Enlightenment needs a system with Imlib 1.9.8 or higher You can obtain it from: ftp://ftp.enlightenment.org/pub/enlightenment/ ftp://www.rasterman.com/pub/enlightenment/ ftp://ftp.labs.redhat.com/pub/imlib/ configure: error: Fatal Error: no Imlib detected. I tried editing /etc/ld.so.conf but don't know which line to change. I don't know what to do with LD_LIBRARY_PATH - and if that's the answer to the question I will need to be told how to do so as I am a dumb n00b!! :cry: Any help appreciated. |
"I tried editing /etc/ld.so.conf but don't know which line to change."
You probably need to add a line for the imlib "I don't know what to do with LD_LIBRARY_PATH " If you add a line to /etc/ld.so.conf you don't need to do anything with LD_LIBRARY_PATH. You can probably find out where the imlib with the following command: find / -iname "*imlib*" If the find command gives you several possibilities look for a directory that has files whose names start with libim. Or you can try: find / -iname "*libim*" After you get /etc/ld.so.conf edited then run the command: ldconfig Most distributions run ldconfig at every boot, but with Slackware you can't assume things like that. |
Ok, everything is installed. How do i make it the primary window manager?

" How do i make it the primary window manager?"
Change /home/user/.xinitrc and /root/.xinitrc to run Enlightenment |
