Can't install cairo-dock Salix 13.37 XFCE

[loukingjr]

I tried installing cairo-dock using Sourcery but it fails with this message...

ERROR: Package extension .0~2-i486-1_SBotxz is not supported.

is there anything I can do to fix it? I also tried installing AWN and it is apparently missing some dependencies.

thanks.

This is a case of a bad slackbuild. I've notified the maintainer, he will have to fix it for it to work properly.

In the mean time, to get it to work, edit /etc/slapt-get/slapt-srcsrc and change

Code: Select all

PKGEXT=txz

to

Code: Select all

PKGEXT=.txz

(add the ".")

then run slapt-src from a root terminal to build the package:

Code: Select all

slapt-src -b cairo-dock

the package will be built in /usr/src/slapt-src/desktop/cairo-dock. You can then install it with:

Code: Select all

spkg -i /usr/src/slapt-src/desktop/cairo-dock/_packagenamehere_

("slapt-src -i" won't work, because it has a bad version name too, with the tilde in there)

Make sure you edit the PKGEXT in slapt-srcrc back to its original setting, or else all other slackbuilds will fail.

I just tried it and get this error message:

Code: Select all

cairo-dock-2.3.0~2/data/default-class-indicator.svg

cairo-dock-2.3.0~2/compile-all.sh
cairo-dock.SlackBuild: line 70: cmake: command not found
fakeroot -- sh cairo-dock.SlackBuild Failed

Any ideas what may be wrong?

Thnx.

This is wrong:

cairo-dock.SlackBuild: line 70: cmake: command not found

I think you can guess by yourself how you get a command onto your system. Otherwise have a look at the SlackBuilds readme or do anyway just in case.

[ghostdawg]

I do have cmake installed. I'm new with slackbuilds, so I'm not quite understanding this error. What do you mean by

do anyway just in case.

Thnx.

No, you can't possibly have cmake installed if you're having this error.

[Shador]

Please post the output of these commands:

Code: Select all

# ls -1 /var/log/packages/cmake-*
# echo $PATH

worked for me. thanks

You are correct, it wasn't installed. I saw /usr/share/cmake or something similar and thought it was /usr/bin/cmake. I also had to install gtkglext. Now all is well.

Thnx.
