Fusion-icon compizconfig.so: undefined symbol error

[pycior]

I've recently compiled compiz-fusion with the instructions from gentoo-wiki and I get this error:

Code: Select all

* Using the Qt3 Interface
* /usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/compizconfig.so: undefined symbol: ccsEdgesToStringList
... Trying another interface

fusion-icon is compiled with qt3 support

I get the same error when trying to start ccsm

Code: Select all

Info: No sexy-python package found, don't worry it's optional.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ccsm", line 37, in ?
    import compizconfig
ImportError: /usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/compizconfig.so: undefined symbol: ccsEdgesToStringList

What is ccsEdgesToStringList and to what package/file this function relates to?
Any idea how to fix this or is it just an error in the dev code?

Just wanted to say I get the same errors. Just installed compiz-fusion 0.5.2 and fusion-icon, following wiki advice.

I do not run x86_64, by the way.

From gentoo-wiki:

Note: Currently compiz-fusion must be compiled in a certain order or else certain packages won't compile or break. Here is a suggested order:

emerge -v1a compiz compiz-bcop emerald libcompizconfig compiz-fusion-plugins-main compiz-fusion-plugins-extra compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupported compiz-fusion-plugins-gears compizconfig-backend-kconfig compizconfig-python emerald-themes ccsm compiz-fusion fusion-icon

I've noticed when you run emerge like that it will mix up the order, so now I'm doing emerge compiz && emerge compiz-bcop && emerge emerald ...etc...

I don't think it will work, but can't think of anything else for now

EDIT:
I'm on x86-64, but I see it doesn't make a difference

EDIT 2:
Didn't work

Found the source of the problem, best thing to do is wait: http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=3446

yep, a workaround for now:

cocoliso wrote:mask for now these packages in package.mask

Code: Select all
x11-wm/compiz-9999
dev-python/compizconfig-python-9999



this will block portage from upgrading those packages and you will be able to use fusion-icon with compiz-0.5.2

Thanks, installation went fine now. However, I get no window decoration when using compiz as window manager, which I find quite odd...

I'll try and fix that later. If anyone has an immediate clue for my specs, I would appreciate it :)

* nvidia drivers 100.14.09
* kde 3.5.7
* emerald & compiz-fusion 0.5.2
* compiz 0.5.4

Put this script in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin

[from http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_compiz-fusion]

use it when starting compiz then you must run "emerald --replace" before running fusion-icon, worked for me

[jurrie]

Well the wiki said not to use the compiz-manager script with the release of fusion-icon, and I wanted to do things "right" for a change ;) Plus, before I got fusion-icon to work, the compiz-manager script also failed to give me window decorations, so I guess the problem lies somewhere else.

[pycior]

the problem is that the 0.5 configuration dialog doesn't work well over the git ebuild, so we just have to wait till they fix it or just mask the 9999 ebuilds and compile compiz-fusion-0.5.2 [doing so right now] ;]
