Fluxbox

« on: March 26, 2007, 12:13:02 PM »

I know this is not an installation help-line, but I am wondering if someone can help me on this. I am trying to install fluxbox on my CentOS computer, and I am following this wiki: http://fluxbox.org/docbook/en/fluxbox-docs.html#AEN98

I am trying to install the 0.1.14 version and am getting this:

Can I get any help?

I think you missed the actual error in your post. Look further up in your error messages.

You should also try one of these commands. One of these is usually a part of the Makefile but not all the time. If it is then it will give you an idea of what is happening.

Code:

# make test

Code:

# make check

If CentOs = Redhat then you could just download the RPMs, I know it's not as fun as compiling you own, but it is easier Wink

Just grab the fedora pakage from: http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/download.php

install as root with

Code:

rpm -i downloadedFile.rpm

it's only 0.9 but it should still work.

i dont use CentOS but the usual procedure is:

./configure
make
make install

did you run the configure script? what does the README say? you did read that first to see if you have to install any dependencies first right?

Kevan
I know that you are new and you are getting some great feedback here but I am going to suggest that you utilize the resources available to you through your Linux distribution's forums. Not only will you get more timely and helpful responses but also they will be more accurate to your distribution's packages. You should check here: http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/index.php?cat=3
You should search these forums before you post your questions as somebody may have already had the same problem and a solution may already be posted.

That said, of course I am going to leave you with some advice.

First, you are obviously missing some dependencies and need to install the appropriate packages. I like to search for RPMs or the files contained in the RPM at: http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php

Second, when you are installing RPMs I suggest you use the command "rpm -Uvh" as these options will update, be verbose, and print hash marks as to the install progress. Update will properly handle updates to software and if it is not installed then it will just install it, verbose gives you more detailed output of the install process, and hashs show you the progress of the install so you know when something is done or has stalled.

Hope that helps.

I did not know that CentOS had a forum. I did however post the same question at LinuxQuestions.org and they could not figure out the problem and the site was down for a while.

I guess I thought what better place to ask then at a forum full of people that know computers inside and out?

Yah. I just need to somehow get those dependencies. I wouldn't think it would be so hard to install.

Try adding the following lines to your /etc/yum.conf file:

Quote

[kbs-CentOS-Extras]
name=CentOS.Karan.Org-EL$releasever - Stable
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://centos.karan.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-karan.org.txt
enabled=1
baseurl=http://centos.karan.org/el$releasever/extras/stable/$basearch/RPMS/[/color][/b]

Next run the following command to import the GPG signature for the centos.karan.org repository:

Quote

rpm --import http://centos.karan.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-karan.org.txt

Then run a yum install fluxbox I just tried it and it worked. Below is what I saw from my centos 4.4 system.

Didn't you have to open that as root? How did you do that?

Yes as root you have to edit the /etc/yum.conf

To open it you need to do from the command line a

Quote

vi /etc/yum.conf

Once in the vi editor go to the bottom of the file by pressing shift+G

Then hit the i to get into edit mode and paste the lines from my previous post. Once they have been pasted hit the esc key to get back to command mode then do a :wq! to save the file and exit.

If you don't want to use vi because it can be hard to grasp at first. I would suggest using pico and to edit the file with pico you should be able to do a pico /etc/yum.conf I don't have access to pico right now to send you the sequence you need to update the file but I think you might be able to figure out how to do it using pico's help.

If you don't know what vi is or are not comfortable with it. I would suggest this site as a place to start: http://www.eng.hawaii.edu/Tutor/vi.html

If you are in the GUI of centos gedit or kedit should give you the ability to edit the file.

OK, I have fluxbox installed, now how can I configure it to have my programs in it's menu? I did it the manual way by opening the hidden fluxbox folder and rewriting the menu text, but nothing works.

I now have a webpage uploaded explaining the installation. Let me know if you want your handle or name on it.
