I tried to install this nice looking windowmanager to my SuSE. I downloaded, compiled and installed it just fine, but I cant get it running. So far I've tried/done: I added fluxbox to LoginManager (and now I see flugbox in login-screen in a checkbox), but it never occured to me is there something else to set in Login Manager (I now run KDE and login is also KDE) I've tried to edit .xinitrc and .xsession in my homedorectory. I have added elif test -x /usr/local/bin/fluxbox; then WINDOWMANAGER= /usr/local/bin/fluxbox -aa to both, so that there would be something to catch if I select flugbox. I also have created .flugbox directory to my homedirectory and it includes files init, menus and keys... When I start my box it goes to login screen and all other desktops work, bt if I select fluxbox, screen goes black and then it returns to Login-screen. Anyone, any ideas how to proceed... Thanks, Pete

If I do as above I get: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. I also tried these: 1. in /usr/X11/bin create a link to your fluxbox executable, e.g. ln -s /usr/local/bin/fluxbox /usr/X11/bin 2. Add the fluxbox to the login manager sessions 3. Add fluxbox to /usr/X11/bin/wmlist (This still exists in SuSE 8.0) And still no FluxBox... after login, still black for a while and then login screen again.. PETE

That means the binary you downloaded was compiled with gcc 3.0. You could try installing gcc30.rpm from the SuSE cds, but that version was buggy, according to the reports. Try to find a version compiled with dcc 2.95.3, or recompile it yourself //Anders
I don't know anything about this -- I'm just curious... If gcc 3.0 is on the SuSE 8 CDs, then it's at least a year old. If FLUXBOX was asking for libstdc++.so.3, would it not likely accept a more current (and stable) version of the gcc libs? What about loading recent gcc and creating a link to libstdc++.so.3 ? Or would it break other programs to have gcc 3-dot-something libs installed? /kevin On Friday 27 September 2002 14:36, Anders Johansson wrote:

It probably wouldn't work. I haven't tried it, but gcc's c++ compatibility isn't exactly world renowned. version x.y has so far never been compatible with x.(y-1) or x.(y+1) gcc 3.2 uses libstdc++.so.5 and I really doubt it can be used here. I haven't tried it, as I said, so it *might* be, but I really, really doubt it.
Or would it break other programs to have gcc 3-dot-something libs installed?
No, you can have as many versions as you like installed at the same time, just as long as they're in different directories. //Anders

I compiled it myself from source with gcc 3.00.. I have both installed at the moment, but seems like 3.00 was used... Should I uninstall 3.oo and recompile ? how to uninstall unsuccesfull version, or just delete ? PETE

No, just make sure you have the gcc 3.0 library directory (something like /opt/experimental/lib perhaps, if you installed it from SuSE's CDs) listed in /etc/ld.so.conf. If it isn't, put it in there, and remember to run ldconfig afterwards. //Anders
