[SOLVED] Cairo Dock on AMD64?

[RavanH]

Has anyone got Cairo Dock running on AMD64?

If so: could you please tell me how / which version / which Ubuntu?

TIA :)

EDIT: I'm talking about http://developer.berlios.de/projects/cairo-dock/ ... or are there other places to get .deb releases?

This might help.

there are no packages for 64bits cause nobody ever made it yet.
maybe you can try with the --force-architecture option of dpkg to force the installation of the 32bits pakage
the other solution is to compile it from the sources.

yeah you might have to use the 32 bit. or you can compile from source. I use Avant Window Navigator and I too compiled from source for my 64 bit Gutsy.

UPDATE:

I failed compiling from source (see http://developer.berlios.de/forum/message.php?msg_id=40418) so I installed the latest 32bit package with --force-architecture and then copied all the dependencies manually to /usr/lib32/ ....

Tedious work but after that, cairo-dock works FINE :)

It seems installation should be much easier when using getlibs to do the dependencies for you: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3674689&postcount=67

Getlibs (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=474790) is surely one of the best AMD64 problem solvers out there!!! [ It should really be promoted into the repositories and activated by default, I think ]
