Running Grip on Fluxbox?
 

Grip is the Gnome .wav ripper software and I want to run it with fluxbox. Upon trying to run 'configure' I get errors saying 'could not find the gnomeConf.sh file'.

I though Gnome was intstalled with slack 9.1?

It is installed if selected but this isn't a Fluxbox or Gnome issue, its an issue where Grip using older libs from previous versions of Gnome to work correctly.

You need to install this package: gnome-libs-1.4.1.7-i386-1.tgz

In which you can download from here: http://ftp.algx.net/pub/linux/slackw...1.7-i386-1.tgz

Thanks for your help.

I copied the lib stuff into /usr/local/lib.

Also installed libghttp-1.0.9.

Ran ./configure on Grip. I get a couple of 'warnings'

configure: WARNING: cdda_paranoia.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: cdda_paranoia.h: check for missing prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: cdda_paranoia.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result
checking for cdda_paranoia.h... yes

&

configure: WARNING: id3lib not found - disabling id3v2 support

If I run make I get lots of problems.

:confused:

you have not correctly installed the libraries yet. simply copying a bunch of random files to /usr/lib is not going to help

How do I compile/install the libs then??

Thanks.

Just found this on another page

"
here is a list of the packages needed to be able to get gtk1
apps compiling and working:

bonobo-1.0.20-i386-1.tgz
bonobo-conf-0.14-i386-1.tgz
gal-0.19.2-i386-1.tgz
gal-0.21-i386-1.tgz (from www.sf.net/projects/dropline-gnome)
gconf-1.0.9-i386-1.tgz
gnome-libs-1.4.1.7-i386-1.tgz
gnome-print-0.36-i386-1.tgz
gnome-vfs-1.0.5-i386-2.tgz
gtkhtml-1.0.2-i386-1.tgz
gtkhtml-1.1.6-i386-1.tgz (from www.sf.net/projects/dropline-gnome)
imlib-1.9.14-i386-1.tgz
libghttp-1.0.9-i386-1.tgz
libglade-0.17-i386-1.tgz
libole2-0.2.4-i386-1.tgz
libxml-1.8.17-i386-1.tgz (Slackware's "l" directory")
oaf-0.6.10-i386-1.tgz"

Do I need all this to get Grip running?

No, like I said before, just gnome-libs-1.4.7-i386-1 will work. Unless you don't have any Gnome packages installed, then most likely you will need them all but I doubt it. How did you install the last package?

Should be a simple as root:

installpkg gnome-libs-1.4.1.7-i386-1.tgz

And then compile or install grip after also installing libghttp-1.0.9 as grip is dependent on it as well.

If you post the exact steps and commands that you did to install, I'm sure it will enlighten us on where your going wrong.

Cheers.

Ok thanks for your help.

Did:

installpkg gnome-libs-1.4.1.7-i386-1.tgz (as super user)

and Grip installs no problem.

I just didn't know about the installpkg command. I though you had to manually move the lib files about. learned something at least.
