imwheel compiling problem
 
Small text is fixed:
In my continuing effort to get the side buttons functioning, I tried to install imwheel. To my Autostart I added:

#!/bin/sh
imwheel -k -b "67"

Befor I added that, I had:

#!/bin/bash
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5"

Now when I log out/back in a dialog box pops up stating:

Couldn't find the program 'Autostart'

The odd part here is, the xmodmap part of the script is still loading as though everything is fine.

I added the lines right after the first two. Is there a character needed for multiple lines in the script (somehow, that I doubt,) or can anyone take a guess as to what's wrong?

If anyone if familiar with imwheel, let me know. I have a suspiscion that something may have gone wrong in the compilation, but I'm too much of a newbie to comprehend what's going wrong.

Toker 10-05-2003 11:50 PM
Scratch that... When I reversed the order of the script, everything worked fine (?!??)

Still no buttons though, so I'm still looking for anyone that may know/use imwheel.... If I just type the command 'imwheel' I get a command not found. Does that mean it didn't install correctly?

search the forum for intellimouse
or buttons

same troubles popped up a few days ago

I mayself use the intellimouse without all the extra buttons

Well, yes.... I've been doing nothing but searches for days now... In fact, there's a topic by me at the bottom of this page (maybe on 2, things move fast here.) all about how I've followed everyone elses topics and still have trouble...

However, I'm not asking about the mouse, I'm asking about configuring imwheel.....

quatsch 10-06-2003 12:14 AM
can you run
imwheel as root? If you can, as root do
whereis imwheel
and it will tell you where it is. If it is, e.g., /sbin/imwheel
try if you can run
/sbin/imwheel
as a normal user.

running 'imwheel' as root returns command not found....

Since I am such a newbie, I may not be compiling things right.

I d/l the .tar.gz file from the main imwheel site, and unpacked it to /usr/src/imwheel, When I ran /.configure:

I'm not sure what to gather from those errors as to what's needed.

install the package called tetex: Go to mandrake control center -> software management ->install software and search for tetex and install it. Hopefully, this is all you need.

That was it! Thank you quatsch! Now that that's working, back to my mouse troubles.... :)
