You do know you can use rox filer and the rox pinboard and rox panel without having the whole "rox session" installed, right?
If you are just wanting rox to enable icons on fluxbox desktop and draw wallpaer, and of course, because rox is a great file manager, then just install rox-filer and even all the apprun programs to go with it.

/edit: if you already have rox-filer installed then try running this
$rox --pinboard=MyPinboard
and then you can drag programs or folders from rox-filer window onto desktop to create shortcuts, then right click them to change the icon. also you can have fluxbox run it at startup by adding this to your ~/.fluxbox/apps file
[startup] {rox --pinboard=MyPinboard}
and for the panel the command is
$rox --bottom=MyPanel or for startup use this
[startup] {rox --bottom=MyPanel}
and you can change MyPinboard or MyPanel to whatever you would like to call it and also place panel at bottom or top or sides by specifying in the command.
But if you would still like the whole rox-session installed it looks like you are in for a ride. You probably are running mandrake or fedora which installs programs to directories other than default which screws alot of things up in the end.

Do you also have pyrex installed? I seen this posted on the rox-session page....


How do I get the Python D-BUS bindings?

Some distros have binaries available. If so, use them. The Fedora Core page has a download for that distribution. Otherwise, you need to have pyrex installed.

If D-BUS complains that it can't find pyrex even after you've installed it, try copying the files from /usr/local/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages to /usr/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages (ie, without the local). Some distros don't have /usr/local in their default PYTHONPATH.

not sure if that may be the reason you are having trouble but it is worth looking into. If you have another error trying to compile, post all output from console so we can look into your error better.

Found and fixed the problem with dbus not being found...

You need to update your PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable in your environment. The following two commands will do this:

#> PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
#> export PKG_CONFIG_PATH

Then run

#> ROX-Session/AppRun --compile

and you should be good to go!

Quick Update...

The above fix got ROX-Session to compile, but now I am getting an error that the findrox.py script can't find rox... looking into this now.
