fluxbox on 10.1 OE

[solarian]

hi there!

 

When I ran configure on the latest stable Fluxbox-0.1.14

or the newest devel version 0.9.10 , I got this error line

configure: error: Fluxbox requires the X Window System libraries and headers.

In configure log file (0.1.14) I came upon this

configure:8515: checking for X
configure:8617: g++ -E  conftest.cc
configure:8613:27: X11/Intrinsic.h: No such file or directory

int
main ()
{
XtMalloc (0)
;
 return 0;
}
configure:8721: result: no
configure:9687: error: Fluxbox requires the X Window System libraries and headers.

 

I'll take a blind shot in a herd and say that this isbecause of Xorg

so, how to overcome this and install Fluxbox on my box?

 

I'd prefer it to be a source, not some .rpm solution, because I have tested an rpm from http://rpm.pbone.net/ and Fluxbox had problems logging out (exit). It just froze with my mouse free to wander. So it would be good if I could configure it on my box.

You're probably on the right track thinking it has to do with Xorg, but I'm can't tell you how to fix it. I'd post this question to the Fluxbox help forum at:

 

http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=110771

 

Somebody there should be able to help. As for me, I installed the rpm 'fluxbox-0.9.10-2mdk' and it's working pretty well except I have the same logout problem. I've been getting around that by just restating X instead, a-la ctrl-alt-backspace. No biggie. It will do the transparent menus and stuff, but it's maybe not quite as perfected as v1.14 was. Still, I intend to stay with the newer 0.9x versions 'cause 1.14 is no longer maintained.
