next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I have attempted to install the following X window manager ports:
fvwm2
fvwm95
qvwm
windowmaker
All of these were from the ports collection in FreeBSD 3.0..
I installed FreeBSD by ftp'ing the 3.0 release from ftp5.freebsd.org,
and then burning a CD.
Every attempt that I make at runing 'make' for any of these ports
results in an ftp of the tgz archive from a remote server, and then the
attempt to build xpm-3.4k.
The error occurs in the building of xpm-3.4k.. It says
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.a: could not read symbols: Achive has no
index; run ranlib to add one
So I ran ranlib.. and no sucsess.. same error.
I finnaly gave up and retrieved the package .tgz file from FTP and tried
pkg_add. That worked, except when I tried to execute any of the above
mentioned window-managers, I get the following error:
from wmaker:
ld.so failed: Can't find shared library "libPropList.so.0.7"
from qvwm:
ld.so failed: Can't find shared library "libXpm.so.4.10"
There is somthing seriously fishey here! I have the libXpm.so.4.10
library in /usr/X11R6/lib.. So that can't be missing (unless it doesn't
know where to look?) And the libPropList.so.0.7 doesn't exist. I am
not sure where to obtain that, but I would think that that would be
installed by the package, wouldn't it?
If you have any idea what is up, please help me.. I am currently
running twm and olvwm just fine, but I would like to use the wmaker, or
somthing similar, and I would like to see what the others are like...
