How!?!?!?!?!?!

Willz, please understand that you are trying to install a mod with for the lipstik theme. The lipstik directory is the directory which you are compiling from (and subsequently got the compile error).

Replace the appropriate files in the directory as instructed in the README, and then add those 2 lines that zeus pointed out into the correct file. Then compile it (taking into account my above post).

 

so the lipstik directory is in the folder i downloaded named lipstik 2.2? beacuse thats the only lipstik directory i know of, damn this is sso hard to install just to get a theme/mod to work.

 

Yes, make sure the gcc-cpp package is also installed with urpmi gcc-cpp

 

Ok... i think i installed that, so you mean the lipstik theme is going to be running from the damnd lipstik folder that i put in documents??!!!?.

Ok, this is getting so confusing now i dont know what the hell i am doing next, so i am supposed to replace 3 files that i downloaded in the lipstik 2.2 directory with the same 3 files i downloaded in the lipstik 2.2 directory :s, omg i really need a guide on how to install this, is there a guide!?!?!?!?!?!.

I have been trying to get this damnd thing to work since about 8 this morning, its now 2:20, thats 6 hour 20 mins :'(

 

No, the mod you found for lipstik requires that you replace the files in the lipstik directory with the ones in the mod directory. So it overwites 3 files in the lipstik directory.

Now, you are compiling from source, so once those files are replaced, you now do the ./configure and make and make install to install the lipstik theme. Once thats done, you can delete the lipstik source directory if you want.

 

Were is the lipstik directory!?!?!?!?!?!

 

The directory which you are compiling from, and got the error. That directory.

 

i was compiling from the directory of the downloaded files, so if its form there, that means replace 3 files in there with the oens out of the same directory ;s, the only directory with lipstik in as far as i know is the one that i downloaded.

 

Doesnt matter!
About half a dozen posts appeared in the time I wrote this one!

 

whaaaat, damn why is it soooo hard to install a theme, why cant they just make them all with RPM, this is proving impossible, i really really really x 1000 dont want to go back to windows, but damn if i cant install a theme then seems like only way, i mean its going to be harder to set up an emulator and anything else i want aint it?, this is hardest thing i have ever had to do on a computer.... Install a Theme!!!!!!!!11

 

Well its not that hard, you just need to follow instructions.

Simply:

1. Download lipstik 2.2
2. Extract it somewhere
3. Download the mod
4. Extract it somewhere
5. Place the appropriate files from the mod directory to the newly extracted lipstik directory as instructed in the README.
6. Do

Code:

./configure
make
su
enteryourrootpassword
make install

edit: my bad, i forgot to include the part where you add two lines of code to a file in the lipstik directory as zeus said.

 

i added those 2 lines, still get:

at the end.

whats make for?

 

Try: urpmi gcc gcc-cpp gcc-c++

 

Ok, it got even further then i was greeted by another error:
checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!

 

Sounds like you need to install the Xserver development packages. Try searching for the xorg-devel package, or other devel packages of xserver, xorg etc.

 

Hmmm, i did urpmi-libxorg-x11-devel, all went well untill the end and i got an error message :

error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/include/GL: cpio: rename failed - Is a directory

Whats that mean?


I also tried ./configure again and got this at the end now :s:

Code:

 configure: WARNING: libjpeg not found. disable JPEG support.
checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl
checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.2) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation!
For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.
[will@localhost lipstik-2.2]$          

 

There usually isn't this many problems.

The Qt libraries are the graphical libraries needed for KDE. You should find the libqt3-devel packages and install them. Run configure again.

 

Next Error:
checking for KDE... configure: error:
in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail.
So, check this please and use another prefix!
[will@localhost lipstik-2.2]$

Whats that mean? what headers ;s

 

Install kde-libs or kdelibs package, or similar.

I'm going out to play football now, so if you get any more errors google them and hope for the best.

 

Ok, i cant use urpmi now, it says Urpmi database locked :s
