I'm gonna try and track down the source for the latest Imlib2 and see what I can break ;-) Okay, I mailed a few people and got a link to the source, it's now up to 1.1.2: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2 ...wy down at the bottom. You will need at the very least libtool-devel (urpmi libtool-devel) to build it, probably also freetype2 devel libs and same for X11R6. Ziljian, the developer, was very helpful, BTW. I'm going to build a checkinstall RPM of it and install from that. Unfortunately, I would seriously doubt that the RPM I build would work on a 10.0 machine or higher. Any RPM experts have an answer on that one? Charles? CHARLES, I KNOW YOU ARE LISTENING/LURKING...LOL!

I was able to run the PyPanel setup script. Then I put pypanel in my Pwkwm start file, but, when I run Pekwm, I don't see anything that would lead me to believe it is actually running. When I type pypanel in a terminal window while in KDE, the screen flickers, and then I get the following: segmentation fault I tried to go to the PyPanel site to look for troubleshooting info, but I didn't find any.

Re: [newbie] Help with Python Problem (MDK 10.0)
Must be a problem with PyPanel 2.0 because I removed it and installed 1.3 and it works! One thing that is different between the two is that 2.0 requires imlib2 1.1.1 or later (according to the docs). When I do a rpm -qa | grep imlib2 I get libimlib2_1-filters-1.0.6-4.1.100mdk libimlib2_1-loaders-1.0.6-4.1.100mdk libimlib2_1-devel-1.0.6-4.1.100mdk libimlib2_1-1.0.6-4.1.100mdk which looks to me like it's saying I have version 1.0.6. I don't know if that's right or if that's even the problem, but it's the only thing that jumped out at me. Anyway, although I'd like to be running 2.0, I can't find an RPM anywhere of a more recent version of imlib2, and I don't feel like compiling it from source, so I'll stick with 1.3 for now.
