Category: Compilation or Installation Issue Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Red Hat Linux 9.0 Initial Comment: Can someone please provide line-by-line specific instructions to integrate Blackbox 0.65 into a full install of Red Hat Linux 9.0? I have been working on this work weeks and can't get it to integrate (I can get it to compile properly). Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: tamara (novelnous) Date: 2003-09-03 20:37 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=858677 thanks guys it worked! looks like i missed xfree86-devel somehow... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Scott R. Godin (webdragon) Date: 2003-09-03 19:25 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=231518 oops, I put rpm -qa |sort >instpkgs twice in the 'progression of events'. my bad. you don't need to do it twice. :-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Scott R. Godin (webdragon) Date: 2003-09-03 19:23 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=231518 on the subject of LANG, my /etc/sysconfig/i18n is set to this: LC_ALL="C" LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="C" SUPPORTED="en_US.UTF-8:en_US:en" the LC_COLLATE is redundant but is there to remind me to make sure it stays set to C if/when I upgrade. I had no problems compiling blackbox on this system but then I used ./configure --disable-nls. on the subject of other compiling issues, yes you do need a goodly number of *-devel packages installed on the system. For redhat 9 you can do (up2date --showall |sort >9allpkgs; rpm -qa |sort >instpkgs) Once you have these two files you can extract from them anything you need, and diff the results. so, here's the progression of events: up2date --showall |sort >9allpkgs rpm -qa |sort >instpkgs egrep '^\w+-devel.*' 9allpkgs >all-devel less all-devel; # just checking :) rpm -qa |sort >instpkgs egrep '^\w+-devel.*' instpkgs > inst-devel less inst-devel; # just checking again :) vimdiff inst-devel all-devel or if you're in X: gvim -d inst-devel all-devel or plain-old diff -y inst-devel all-devel |less This should help you more clearly ascertain which *-devel packages you are missing and/or might need and which you can then up2date -i package1 package2 etc :) hope this helps. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jamin W. Collins (jamincollins) Date: 2003-09-03 18:44 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=88136 Sounds like you don't have the xlib development package installed. Not completely sure what it's called in RH 9.x This might be the package your looking for: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/9/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/XFree86-devel-4.3.0-2.i386.rpm Once it's installed try the configure again. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: tamara (novelnous) Date: 2003-09-03 18:33 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=858677 I tried to get it compile but i can't get beyond the configuration part. i haven't had problems with other linux distros but with RedHat 9.0 i get : checking for XOpenDisplay in -lX11... no configure: error: Could not find XOpenDisplay in -lX11. any ideas? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Sean 'Shaleh' Perry (shaleh) Date: 2003-06-24 19:06 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=37132 before you run configure do this: export LANG=en_US export LC_ALL=en_US The RH default is en_US.UTF8 which confuses the gnu translation program. We try to make blackbox compile 100% silently so any warnings seen are considered low priority bugs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bruce Smith (a_space_monkey) Date: 2003-06-24 17:11 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=808813 Thanks to a tip at http://lists.freshrpms.net/pipermail/rpm- list/2003-April/003924.html I tried "./configure --enable-nls=no" and then "make" learned to play nice, compiling without errors (plenty of warnings but who cares about those?). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2003-06-24 16:48 Message: Logged In: NO Blackbox 0.65 won't compile under RH9 for me either. ./configure runs without errors make coughs up at: make[3]: Entering directory '/home/apps/blackbox/blackbox- 0.65.0/nls/es_ES' Translation.m:3: invalid character: message ignored ^ the above line is repeated for lines 4, 7, 8, 9, 13, 17, 19, 20, ...

I needed a small footprint Window manager and I liked old versions of BlackBox, so I gave it a shot. Below is a sample of the errors I am getting. Note I have compiled setting "LANG=en_US.UTF-8" and "LANG=". The output of the errors vary depending on the values of this variable. Unfortunately I have no time to check on this deeper, so I just picked another WM.
