feh problems
I'm trying to set my background in Fluxbox and for some reason feh is not working... Im stumped.
Its telling me - Quote:
I added /usr/lib to my $PATH (not sure if this would help) still no success. Can anyone help a poor soul? =) |
try adding the line '/usr/lib' to '/etc/ld.so.conf', then in a terminal run 'ldconfig'.
|
No luck it still wont recognize it. This is weird. Ive tried reinstalling the glib package too. Again no luck. Anyone? =(

You need to install giblib before feh. I've made a slackbuild for giblib and a slackbuild for feh. You must run the slackbuild a user and not as root, if you have fakeroot the slackbuild will use fakeroot if not you will be asked to type your root password. |

Thanks for those. I ran your giblib slackbuild which worked with no problems. Then feh is giving me this problem. Code:
*** The giblib-config script installed by giblib could not be found |
It may sound stupid but did you install giblib before running feh's slackbuild ?
type as root : upgradepkg --install-new --reinstall /tmp/build/giblib-1.2.4-i486-1_SBn.tgz to install giblib and upgradepkg --install-new --reinstall /tmp/build/feh-1.3.4-i486-1_SBn.tgz to install feh once compiled. |
Thanks so much h4kteur. The problem was I didn't know that the script created packages that are stored in /tmp/build ... well I know now. I don't use slackbuilds as much as I should. I go to linuxpackages.net mostly. Anyways thanks again for all the help!

Hi,
I'm having a similar issue. I do not have root access on the system and I installed the files on my home directory. I've installed giblib and feh was installed without any problems. I type the following to set my background Code:
feh –bg-scale `dcop kdesktop KBackgroundIface currentWallpaper 1` Code:
error while loading shared file libraries: libgiblib.so.1 : cannot open shared object file : no such file or directory /home/user/my_programs/lib/ Any ideas? Thanks. |

I don't see why you don't install libraries to /usr/lib where they belong, it'll save you a lot of potential trouble later on. |

Oh, I see, sorry I missed that small bit :)
Well, I'm not sure what to do in that case, I'll think about it... |
He can still use LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Hi,
Thanks for all the replies. Sorry I'm still very new to Linux so you'd have to describe it a bit for me. Do I need to uninstall feh, change the libraries in the Makefile and install again? |
