help me

How did you install GSB? Did you use slapt-get?

im using this

lynx --source http://gnomeslackbuild.org/net-install | bash

it is install slapt-get first and install gnome

I did a rsync of GSB packages (without sources, around 700MB or so), use available http://gnomeslackbuild.org/download/#mirrors. If you use slackware-current, get the corresponding gsb-current. Same for slackware-13.1 or slackware64-13.1.

rsync -rlptDvuh --exclude=source rsync://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/gsb/gsb-2.30_slackware-13.1/ gsb-2.30_slackware-13.1/

Then setup slapt-get properly as described in INSTALL.TXT

You are using this method below

Installing from a local copy

Installing from a local copy of GSB and/or Slackware/Slackware64 is a very
similar process to the manual slapt-get net installation detailed above - it is
recommended that you read that section in addition to this one, in order to
understand the slapt-get installtion process. Only brief instructions are
given here.

For the following instructions, </path/to/gsb> referrs to the local filesystem
location for the GSB mirror, and </path/to/slackware> referrs to the local
filesystem location to the Slackware/Slackware64 mirror. Both of these should,
obviously, be replaced with the full correct paths to each mirror. These paths
can also be on a CDROM or USB device if the mirrors are located on such media.

As with the manual slapt-get net installation, a GSB slapt-getrc file must be
created - however, the two SOURCE entries in the slapt-getrc for this install
method will be local filesystem paths, not URIs.

Create the slapt-getrc:
$ nano /etc/slapt-getrc.gsb

Add the required configuration:
WORKINGDIR=/var/slapt-get
EXCLUDE=^kernel-.*,^glibc.*,.*-[0-9]+dl$,^devs$,^udev$,aaa_elflibs

Finally, add the two SOURCE entries:
SOURCE=file://</path/to/gsb>
SOURCE=file://</path/to/slackware>

Save the file and exit the text editor. Use these commands to update the
slapt-get cache files:
$ slapt-get -c /etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc.gsb --update

Finally, as with the manual slapt-get net installation, you must choose which
'set' to install. Details of the sets are in Appendix C below, but we highly
recommend that you install 'gsb-complete'.

To start the installation, use:
$ slapt-get -c /etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc.gsb -y --retry 10 --upgrade
$ slapt-get -c /etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc.gsb -y --retry 10 \
--install <your chosen package set from Appendix C>
(Note: the second command has been spanned over two lines for readability)

For clarity, to install the 'gsb-complete' set (highly recommended) use the
following commands:
$ slapt-get -c /etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc.gsb -y --retry 10 --upgrade
$ slapt-get -c /etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc.gsb -y --retry 10 --install gsb-complete

With any luck, the installation process will finish without any errors or
problems and GSB will now be installed on your system. Please read the section
'After installation' (and the sections which follow it) below.

I did not use the commands marked in red (above), instead I use this (see below)

From the FAQ.TXT

Q4: I would like to install all GSB packages. How can I do that easily?

A: You can use slapt-get to easily manage all your packages, and this includes
installing all GSB packages. Simply run:

$ slapt-get --available | awk {'print $1'} | grep "gsb$" | \
xargs slapt-get --install

dude
the GSB is work fine Except same error in the top of topic

The method you used to install is incomplete, or rather should I say, the installation instructions are vague and does not really do what they say (problem seems to be related to the package tags). I faced the same problems (missing packages) doing net-install.

rsync a local copy and doing a full install is the way to go, unless you want to hunt every missing package and their very long list of dependencies. Try to compile/view a gsb-slackbuild from source will tell you the required dependencies.

gnome-system-monitor has to be installed separately look in gslapt for it
