WM Confusion
 
Ok, I'm trying to find some way of running docker apps in KDE, and I've found a program called 'docker' that I have compiled and installed (after having to upgrade many libs :)) but, it dosnt seem to be working and crashes with the error ....

Code:

/usr/local/bin/docker: error while loading shared libraries: libglib-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I am pretty sure that libglib-2.0.so.0 exists and is living in /usr/local/lib :( I'm wondering whether I have to change wm's, but this is where I get a little confused :) I was sure you could change window managers from within Gnome (enlightenment etc.), but I thought Gnome WAS a window manager ? :eek: and also cannot find out how to do it from within KDE ? either that or could someone tell me how to dock LICQ in the kde system tray :D

cheers

ps. sorry if this post is really confusing :)

Alright, you know that libglib.so.0 exists in /usr/local/lib
First, make sure that this file is actually a file and not a link. Using ls -l should reveal this.
Another thing: if a program tries to load a certain libraries, it searches a few known directories, i.e. /lib and /usr/lib. May be, /usr/local/lib doesn't get searched and therefore, the library cannot be found. To fix this, you should edit your /etc/ld.so.conf. This file contains pathes to libraries, so put in /usr/local/lib, and then rerun ldconfig. After this, your program should work
Good luck :)

cheers :) the path was present in the conf but I ran ldconfig and it after that it seemed to work :)

one other quick question, is there any way of running a program (docker in this case :)) without showing it in the taskbar ? (ie. so I can run Licq with JUST the dock app in docker and not shown in the taskbar)

Well, I cannot give you a straight answer. If this would be possibel, it should be a feature of kde, so check out the doc of kde and walk through all the config dialogs. May be you can find a clue over there. If you still cannot figure, you could post to one of the kde mailinglists/newsgroups, whatever they are using.
Good luck
