Look: here's what you need from SlackBuilds.org (and in the order you need to build and install them using the appropriate SlackBuild in each package):
lua 5.1.5
imlib2 1.4.5 (this installs alongside the Slackware-provided imlib 1.9.15)
scons 2.2.0
tolua++ 1.0.93
conky 1.9.0
From the conky page at SlackBuilds.org:
Quote:
To enable lua scripting engine support, you will need lua, imlib2, and
tolua++, and run this script like this: LUA=yes ./conky.SlackBuild
As I and others have tried to point out to you, do it this way and it'll work and no amount of arguing will make any difference.
I'm not trying to be argumentative, but as I have previously stated, I have all of those, and they were *built from the slackbuilds* except for cairo. Everyone seems to be ignoring the actual error I am getting. I built Lua, tolua++, imlib2, and scons from the slackbuilds, then when I try to run the conky slackbuild I get:
If you are a lazy guy like me just go to the above and get the package. He also has a compat32 conky.
I am using both the 32 & 64 bit versions with no problems. I could never get tolou from slackbuilds to work.
I understand that it was probably my fault but that is how it was done for me.
I got the the same error that you did when I used ponces build on the 32 and 64 bit, on 2 different machines.
I found that libaudcore.so.1 was a dependency of audacious and that audacious was not working on either of my computers,
the answer was to reinstall audacious and get it to work then conky worked.

If you've installed from SlackBuilds, this is what you should have in /var/log/packages:
Code:
cd /var/log/packages
ls -l cairo*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5086 Oct 18 2012 cairo-1.10.2-x86_64-2
ls -l lua*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2837 Nov 29 2012 lua-5.1.5-x86_64-1_SBo
ls -l imlib2*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3403 Jun 19 16:18 imlib2-1.4.5-x86_64-1_SBo
ls -l scons*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18630 Jun 19 16:05 scons-2.2.0-x86_64-1_SBo
ls -l tolua*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1100 Jun 19 16:06 tolua++-1.0.93-x86_64-1_SBo
Note that all the above are 64-bit (no 32-bit!). Also, note that cairo is the library that comes with Slackware -- with "stock" Slackware you should see
That is, other than the line from LibreOffice, the above are the only things should should see -- if there are more files (from, say, your manual build of cairo), you might want to remove cairo entirely (with removepkg or make uninstall, depending upon how your built and installed) then get out you distribution media and install the "stock" cairo from it.
You appear to have multilib on your system; however, none of the above should have built as 32-bit packages, if they are, removepkg and redo the SlackBuild making sure that the packages are built 64-bit (they should just default to 64-bit). If you're getting any messages about wrong ELF class, you're trying to mix 32-bit and 64-bit and that don't and will not work.
Something else you can do to make sure you have the correct ELF class is
Code:
file $(locate libcairo)
/opt/libreoffice3.6/program/libcairo.so.2: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, stripped

/usr/lib64/libcairo-gobject.so.2.11000.2: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, stripped
Notice in both the above locate output that there is no /usr/lib, they're all /usr/lib64 (except the LibreOffice line)?
It's the same for lua:
Code:
file $(locate liblua)
/usr/lib64/liblua.so.5.1: symbolic link to `liblua.so.5.1.5'
/usr/lib64/liblua.so.5: symbolic link to `liblua.so.5.1.5'
/usr/lib64/liblua.so: symbolic link to `liblua.so.5.1.5'
/usr/lib64/liblua.so.5.1.5: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, stripped
/usr/lib64/liblua.a: current ar archive
And all the other required libraries: they will not be in /usr/lib and they will not be 32-bit.
Maybe the above won't help, maybe it will, but it's worth checking, methinks.
Please excuse me for taking so long to get around to this. I have been in the middle of some "making ends meet" scenarios. But anyway, I did exactly as was suggested. I removed all the packages I had installed and instead replaced them with the packages from SlackBuilds.org. Here is what it looks like in my /var/packages: (I also removed all the 32-bit packages)
Code:
bash-4.2# cd /var/log/packages
bash-4.2# ls -l cairo*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5057 Jun 28 21:58 cairo-1.10.2-x86_64-2
bash-4.2# ls -l lua*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2837 Jun 28 21:47 lua-5.1.5-x86_64-1_SBo
bash-4.2# ls -l imlib2*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3403 Jun 28 21:49 imlib2-1.4.5-x86_64-1_SBo
bash-4.2# ls -l scons*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18630 Jun 28 21:50 scons-2.2.0-x86_64-1_SBo
bash-4.2# ls -l tolua*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1100 Jun 28 21:51 tolua++-1.0.93-x86_64-1_SBo
bash-4.2#
Again, just to show I have no 32bit version of lua installed any more:
And for lua (making sure I have the right ELF class)
Code:
bash-4.2# file $(locate liblua)
/usr/lib64/liblua.so.5.1.5: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, stripped
/usr/lib64/liblua.a: current ar archive

/usr/lib64/liblua.so: symbolic link to `liblua.so.5.1.5'
/usr/lib64/liblua.so.5: symbolic link to `liblua.so.5.1.5'
/usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/lua/liblua_plugin.so: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, stripped
/usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/lua/liblua_plugin.la: libtool library file,
Doing the same for libcairo spits out a bunch of stuff that doesn't make as much sense, but since conky doesn't complain about cairo at all, I don't think it is the problem:
Code:
bash-4.2# file $(locate libcairo)
/usr/lib64/libcairo.so.2.11000.2: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SY SV), dynamically linked, stripped

It looks like steam uses the 32-bit cairo package, hopefully that still runs. Anyway, even after all of this, I am getting the exact same error with the slackbuild.

configure: error: tolua_error not found
Thank you for the suggestions, but tolua_error is either inside of a package I have not installed for some reason, or ... I don't know.
In an attempt to follow that thread, I installed tolua, so now I have tolua and tolua++ (both 64bit)
Code:
bash-4.2# ls /var/log/packages/ | grep tolua
tolua++-1.0.93-x86_64-1_SBo
tolua-5.1b-x86_64-1an
And I tried adding LUA51_LIBS="-llua -lm" to the slackbuild, maybe I put it in the wrong place?
Code:
if [ "${LUA:-yes}" = "yes" ]; then
lua_params="--enable-lua --enable-lua-cairo --enable-imlib2 --enable-lua-imlib2 LUA51_LIBS='-llua'"
else
lua_params="--disable-lua"
fi
I added it to this code block because later in the script, the variable $lua_params is called upon when enabling lua support. From what I understood from the thread linked, that is where this should go.
But I am still getting the same error. I am thoroughly stumped.
*Edit, forgot to mention that the -lm switch in $lua_params breaks the build returning:
Code:
configure: error: unrecognized option: `-lm''
Try `./configure --help' for more information
*Edit #2, Maybe the -lm switch is why the whole thing is breaking? What library/dependency is that switch trying to access? Perhaps that is the reason I cannot build.

I tried the conky i486 package, but it crashes on startup telling me:
I don't see a 64bit package on that site
Is there an i486 audacious package, or an option I'm not aware of to run conky without support for libaudcore.so? This seems to have gotten me one step closer though, and for that, I thank you.
I don't currently use Curl or Audacious and all that other stuff, and wlan0 is the only internet interface I'm using right now, and the graph works perfectly fine. I finally found a theme I was happy with and tweaked it a little to suit my liking. Thank you everyone for trying to help!
