From make World:

bison -y -d pswparser.y

/bin/sh: line 1: bison: command not found

I guess I have to install bison as well. Put it on the list with autoconf, cvs, gcc...

I have a question... Why is it that I want to install something, if that something is lets say at CD1, it asks CD2, then CD4, then CD3 and then CD1? It doesn't read anything from the other 3 cds, stupid Mandrake 10...

And flex :crazy: Put that on the list too.

EDIT:

gcc -m32 -o resize -O2 -fno-strength-reduce -fno-strict-aliasing -ansi -pedantic -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prot otypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wredundant-decls -Wnested-ext erns -Wundef -L../../exports/lib resize.o xstrings.o -lncurses -Wl,-r path-link,../../exports/lib

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lncurses

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

make[4]: *** [resize] Error 1

make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/jimmyt/xc/programs/xterm'

What the hell is that now? What do I need to do?

hey guys, I finally plucked up the courage to install it. And it's GREAT! These shadows are NICE and transparency.

The only thing I haven't figured out yet is how to get windows to automatically go transparent when I drag them (in gnome 2.6.3) and how to get xcompmgr to run at startup?

And has anyone noticed during window minimzation small black lines left on the desktop? I'm using the .905 release...They go away when you drag a window over it.

Has anyone been able to build this on Fedora Core 2? I just tried this morning and 'make World' bombed out:

Hail!

I have installed the 6.7.99.904 release of X.org and I got translucency and shadows working, however it is really bad performance, when moving the windows they lag like hell aswell as switching between them.

My computer:

700++ mb ram

1,4 ghz amd athlon

ati radeon 7200

It doesn't seem like you have this problem but does anyone know anything?

to have xcompmgr to go on startup add it to your .xinitrc file for example mine says

exec fluxbox & xcompmgr -c

Alright I have it all installed and it all works fine... until I enable the composite manager in xorg.conf. When I have the composite manager enabled, in flux I seemingly don't have "layers." So basically, I can't bring a window into focus, they stay in order on the desktop from the time the window was opened, and I can't bring any to the front. Also, when I start up xcompmgr, windows "stick." I don't know any better way to put this. When I move a window, the window moves, but it leaves it's print where it was previously. I hope you can understand that in those terms.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'll take a stab in the dark and say you need the pam development files. Didn't say which distro but for ubuntu/debian thats package "libpam0g-dev" and for redhat/fedora thats "pam-devel"

    • Scientists reveal three step guide to terraform Mars so humans can live there sooner

      By pmrd · Posted

      First of all, Mars' atmosphere is way to thin for hang gliding, second the only reason rare minerals are worth a lot of money is because they are rare, they won't be worth trillions if there's a bunch of it in space and third, nobody alive today or their children's children is going to see this happen.

      We were fine, if not even better back in the XP-7 days where we could pick and choose the updates. Wait for the brave to grab everything and report back on what update broke what (not that they were breaking their own OS anywhaere near as hard back then every few seconds) The security scare is just that. This isn'tsome locked down company machine. I'm supposed to be the master of it. Not them. The basic folk eating up their security above all to the point that options and control are drying up for those of us who are capable. It's not cool.

      We can't even fix our own environment here on Earth after screwing it up, but we're going to terraform another planet. Sure...
    • Android users can now edit texts sent to iPhones, but with a catch

      By ad47uk · Posted

      So you still have to rely on the network supporting it? Some networks, in fact most networks in the U.K, are using Googles version of RCS, which means the Iphone RCS will not work., SMS don't have any encryption, but then I don't send anything that is important or need encrypting, if I do need to tell someone something that is so important that I am bothered about my messages being intercepted then I phone them. But 99.9% of the messages I send are not important and are things like, do you want to pop out for a pint tomorrow, or do you want to meet for coffee and then setting the time and place. Nothing that important and SMS does what I need, I have no need for RCS or any other messaging system. The only reason i keep Faceache messenger on my phone is because of a couple of people
