In know thes instructions are for gutsy, but what about hardy? Most people will have upgraded or will be doing soon…
I tried the same instructions in hardy and received the following error when running the autogen for akamaru:
autoreconf: running: automake –add-missing –copy
libakamaru_la_LDFLAGS: variable `export_symbols’ is used but `export_symbols’ is undefined
autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1
False alarm, I must have missed out one of the dependencies…
Installing on 8.04 I get an error:
Running ‘./configure –prefix=/usr –exec-prefix=/usr’ …
configure: error: invalid variable name: –prefix
Any idea what im doing wrong ?? Anyone else getting error like this?
I pretty much just copied and pasted everything….
Why don’t you go ahead and post the dependency you were missing?
@happy_tux
please check the correct command above it should be double dash before prefix.exec-prefix not single dash

On this step ./autogen.sh –prefix=/usr –exec-prefix=/usr
i get this error

I followed all of the instructions, and so far this has been the most stable build of kiba-dock that I have used, wonderful instructions.
Although Akamaru compiled with no obvious errors, it doesn’t show up in settings, and I can’t seem to figure out how to enable the physics engine.
I am running on Hardy by the way, but everything else worked fine.
Please reply soon! I’ve wanted kiba-dock for years now, but I’ve just never been able to get it to work properly.
I was just wondering if these are supposed to work in Kubuntu 8.04 as well? I copy and pasted the instructions, but when I start it says:
(kiba-dock:9354): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_screen_get_monitor_geometry: assertion `monitor_num num_monitors’ failed
** (kiba-dock:9354): WARNING **: Error (dbus.c @ line 879):
Failed to make connection to session bus: Failed to execute dbus-launch to autolaunch D-Bus session
For a core dump, run kiba-dock with –g-fatal-warnings.
** (kiba-dock:9354): WARNING **: Error (plugin.c @ line 434):
‘/usr/local/lib/kiba-dock/dock_plugins/libdbus.so’ is not loadable
For a core dump, run kiba-dock with –g-fatal-warnings.
and then the programs don’t usually start properly(Synaptics won’t start with root, digikam won’t start). Also when I exit konsole kiba-dock quits as well.
Then if I start under sudo su I get the error message:
No protocol specified
(kiba-dock:9724): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0
So am I doing something wrong or does it just not work in Kubuntu 8.04? Thanks.
