It says you should run libtoolize --copy --force, did you try that?

Do your xine-lib and emotion_test work? I am cruious, why i can't see any picture in any xine-player.

OK, still unable to fix e_modules...

But here are other issues that have been bugging me for a while:

1. I use e17setroot at startup to enable fake transparency. I've created a EAP file for that. This used to work, but now at startup my desktop background is changed to the default of the theme I'm using.. I always have to run this command manually afterwards. Any way to work around?

2. I been trying to use Erss.. but it just stays around for a couple of seconds, then flees away. Is Erss not working properly, or I may have something misconfigured?

3. I tried Embrace long time ago.. and it was still very "green", crashing the system all the time. Does anyone use it now, is it working?

Seems to be all for now.
Thanks for your time.

Ok gimpel, thanks for enlightening me!! I was definetelly fighting a lost batlle.

So, I went back a few posts and decided to try out these additional modules:

Well, E17 has successfully corrupted my filesystem. It's not too bad, most of it's in the swap partition, but it's certainly not bearable.

At first I thought I got hacked, but I've been searching for several hours and haven't found anything more suspicious than a weather module that now shows a place in germany.

Anyhoo, now seems like a great time to install OpenBSD and give KDE 3.5 a go, but I have a feeling I'll probably be back in a bit (I'll end up missing portage too much is what will most likely happen.)

Cya.

moo!

all e_modules have been moved to a own CVS dir lately.
see http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/enlightenment/e_modules/

for those who find it useful: i created a set of ebuilds for 'em
http://gimpel.funpic.de/Main/Downloads/_files/emodule-ebuilds.tar.bz2
just untar that to your $PORTDIR_OVERLAY/x11-plugins and unmask them (-* keyword)

for the ease of adding new ones, i called them emodule-<name of module>
so, if new modules are on CVS, all one has to do is to mkdir emodule-<new module>, and cp one of those ebuilds in there, changing the ebuild's name is enough for co the right module and setting right description...like:

I'm wondering if someone here can help me work through this.

When I try to compile evas, after eet, evas wont emerge, saying that it is missing a libGL.la file. It does exist, and I reemerged xorg just to be sure.

When I google the problem, it seems that people are having the same problem with a wide variety of programs, but nobody is posting solutions. Most of the posts refer to Nvidia drivers, but I have ATI.

Any ideas?

i'm using nvidia's openGL interface without any probs
but maybe ati's doesn't work, so try switching to xorg's:

acabre · n00b Joined: 13 Nov 2005 Posts: 18

Sorry I took so long to reply. I changed the openGL interface to xorg-x11, which let me compile evas, so THANK YOU!!! However, when I rebooted my computer tried to load x, x crashed, so the box retried to load x, which crashed, etc until I did a ctrl alt bksp.
I unmerged everything, eet through e, and it still did it. I unmerged the ati drivers, still crashed. I umerged xorg, emerged it and the ati-drivers, and re-ran fglrxconfig. It kept crashing until I just left everything to defaults. So now x starts.

My problem is that my desktop looks nothing like what the get-e.org faq says it should. No modules load, and I only get a couple of xterm sessions. The screen is a greenish hue. Can anyone help me determine if using xorg's opengl screws my screen drivers, or if my reemerging killed e's themes or something?

Sorry to be one of the chain-questioners. Maybe just give me a URL that will point me in the right direction.

I've been fooling around with this for a while now and I just cant seem to get it worked out. I can make EAP's for applications, but for the life of me: I cannot seem to make an EAP for running e17setroot --scale at startup so that I can maintain transparency with eterm.

Any help would be met with my toasting you through no less than one entire six pack consumed in a single 30 minute session.
