HOWTO: installation of E17 from CVS

[TimmyJ]

This is just a quick how-to on downloading, compiling, and installing the desktop shell Enlightenment 17 from the CVS repository. E17 is still in development, so do not expect a fully stable, bug-free environment. That said: I use E17 on a daily basis and rarely run into any hiccups.

READ: Before following this guide please remove any previously installed versions of E17 (aka from any repository) as they may cause errors in the process.

A quick disclaimer: this is my first how-to, so feel free to offer any constructive criticism.

Lets Start!

1.) First we want to install all required packages for E17, and all the Enlightenment Foundation Libraries to install. This list may be a bit of overkill, but it will get the job done.

sudo apt-get install build-essential cvs libtool libltdl3-dev automake1.9 autotools-dev libpopt-dev libcurl3-dev libx11-dev x11proto-xext-dev libbz2-dev libid3tag0-dev libpng12-dev libtiff4-dev libungif4-dev libjpeg62-dev libssl-dev libfreetype6-dev bison flex xlibs-dev gettext libimlib2-dev libxml2-dev libxcursor-dev libgtk1.2-dev autoconf pkg-config libpng3-dev libxine-dev libxkbfile-dev libsqlite3-dev giblib-dev libxmu-dev libxdamage-dev libxcomposite-dev libtag1-dev libtagc0-dev giblib-dev libasound2-dev


2.) Now that all that is out of the way we need to get the script that will make downloading/compiling/installing E17 very easy. All credit goes to Morlenxus for this great tool.

From your home directory, run the following command
wget http://omicron.homeip.net/projects/easy_e17/easy_e17.sh

3.) Now we need to made the script executable and then run it! This script will prompt you for your sudo password, enter it. This script will take quite some time to run, so try to be patient NOTES: This script will install all the applications and libraries it installs into /opt/e17 so as not to interfere with other versions of enlightenment. You can change this location through scripts options. This script will install ALL the applications and libraries available in the E17 CVS tree. You may or may not want all these apps. You can easily skip any library or app using the --skip flag with the script.

chmod +x easy_e17.sh
./easy_e17.sh -i

4.) Now we have enlightenment all installed and working. The next step it create a desktop entry so that you can log-in to enlightenment from GDM.

Create a desktop entry called e17.desktop
sudo gedit /usr/share/xsessions/e17.desktop

Copy/Paste the following into the newly created file
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=E-17
Comment=
Exec=/opt/e17/bin/enlightenment
Icon=
Type=Application

Thats all you really need to do. Now using enligthenment is as simple as logging out, selecting the E-17 session and logging back in. Any time you want to update enlightenment and related libs/apps, simply re-run the easy_e17 script. For more information on the Enlightenment Foundation Libraries, and the applications that use them, please see http://www.get-e.org and
http://www.enlightenment.org.au

Suggestion: due to the fact that enlightenment was installed in /opt/e17 it is a good idea to add /opt/e17/bin to your PATH so that it is easier to run all those great applications you just installed.

To do this open your /etc/environment with your favorite text editor

sudo gedit /etc/environment

then add the following lines to the bottom

PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/opt/e17/bin

[alingatong]

this is great how to.its been days trying to get e17 from CVS but I am always stuck with the compilation of emotion because of xine in ubuntu.

I tried using your how to but for noobs like me, i think it would be better to add some more details like:

--how do i run the script easy_e17.sh?
--how do i add /opt/e17 in PATH?

thanks.

Any thoughts?? I'd love to get this working!! I had e17 going under Hoary, but no luck yet in Breezy.

Thanks, Scott

[alingatong]

try this guide.

https://vogelweith.homeftp.net/Linux/e17_en.php

[TimmyJ]

I tried using your how to but for noobs like me, i think it would be better to add some more details like:

--how do i run the script easy_e17.sh?
--how do i add /opt/e17 in PATH?

Thanks for the input! To run the script simply running the following command while in the directory you downloaded the file easy_e17.sh to:

sudo ./easy_e17.sh -i --skip=emotion,eclair

for more info you can also do this:

./easy_e17 --help

I will update the guide with notes on changed your $PATH

[TimmyJ]

Well, it started working :) I got the following output (sorry for the length, but I don't know which is important) --


I updated my list of programs to install. Re-run this command and then re-run the script and see if that does it for you :)

sudo apt-get install build-essential cvs libtool libltdl3-dev automake1.9 autotools-dev libpopt-dev libcurl3-dev libx11-dev x11proto-xext-dev libbz2-dev libid3tag0-dev libpng12-dev libtiff4-dev libungif4-dev libjpeg62-dev libssl-dev libfreetype6-dev bison flex xlibs-dev gettext libimlib2-dev libxml2-dev libxcursor-dev libgtk1.2-dev autoconf pkg-config libpng3-dev

then

sudo ./easy_e17.sh -i --skip=emotion,eclair

hope that helps! Thanks for trying this out :)

This is a problem with thinktux's CVS repo, for some reason its not getting the e_gadget stuff. You can either wait it out and try again later. Or you can use anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net for the time being. Instructions on using this CVS repo can be found at www.get-e.org

I've got the same problem :(

[TimmyJ]

I've got the same problem :(

OK, I think I've nailed down what causes this. It is a problem with automake versions. To fix this you should:
sudo apt-get remove automake1.4 automake1.6 automake1.8 automake1.9
then

sudo apt-get install automake1.7
then finally, run the script again
sudo ./easy_e17 -i --skip=eclair,emotion

Hopefully that'll work. Post ur results :)

[TimmyJ]

Bummer :( I'll keep trying to figure out whats up.

[foxy123]

Found a similar problem here http://edevelop.org/node/1775
I also had e17 from repos but I have completely uninstalled it.:confused:

no, apparently I did not. Searched for e17 packages to uninstall by maintainer name and missed a bunch of them. It would be worth to put a note in the HOWTO to uninstall all E17 libraries, previously installed.

[TimmyJ]

Thanks for the tip, I'll do that :)

[foxy123]

There is no standard repo for E17 for breezy as it is still beta software. The uninstallation of all E17 packages will vary from repo to repo. Making an universal removal HOW-TO would be very difficult. I suggest that each person should pick a method of installation and stick to it. If you want to know exactly what E17 packages you need to remove I suggest contacting the maintainer of that package.
what I meant was to tell people to make sure that they uninstalled previously installed versions of E17 before running the script...

I've got another problem now:

Yup thats a problem with the CVS repository the script uses. There is another CVS repo at anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net (you can check www.get-e.org for a description on how to use this) that doesn't suffer from these issues. So you can either use that, or wait until the thintux repo (the one the script uses) is fixed. I doubt it will be a very long wait.

Thats odd, worked for me. I would suggest deleting the e17_cvs directory and re-running the script - could be that it thinks it downloaded it somehow.

it's worked, thanks a lot! Have not tried to boot into e17 yet....

[foxy123]

Tried it and E17 works! The thing is still buggy but astonishingly beautiful!

As I understand the script compiles only default and engage modles. What about weather and other modules? Can I add them to the script? Any other programmes like evidence? Should I list them in 24-26 lines in the script?

[N8K99]

How do I remove gdm and run entrance from this configuration? How do I configure entrance to run both e17 and e16 on my machine? This is all on a fresh install so I want to be able to configure Entrance to be the Login Manager and I'd like to use Evidence instead of Nautilus. I guess I should probably download the elive distrobution instead if that's what I'd really want to run! But nonetheless here I am.

[TimmyJ]

I haven't configured entrance myself yet. If I do change it I'll post here how to do it.

[TimmyJ]

The modules besided the default ones and engage aren't in the CVS tree. You can find them at www.get-e.org with install instructions. There aren't that many right now, but expect more in the near future :)

[N8K99]

right now without gdm installed- when I call startx, the window manager that gets called is DR16. I'm needing a crash course in configuring to get DR17 to run. Also, how to I keep Nautilus from writing over the desktop? Do I have to remove it? I have run e17 before where I got rid of Nautilus and everything Gnome but that was when e17 came from Shadoi's repository and was contained within main directory for programs not in /opt. What do I need to do to get this sort of set up happening? Perhaps after all this work when I get everything happening straight out of Enlightenment, then I'll work out a Ubuntu theme for e17!

Don't know if it will help now, but I was getting this exact same error the other day. I fixed it by manually downloading the files contained in [cvs]/enlightenment/e17/apps/e/src/modules/gadget_test from here (http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/enlightenment/e17/apps/e/src/modules/gadget_test/), renaming the file "Makefile.am" to "Makefile.in", inserting them in the appropriate place, and rerunning the script. Worked like a charm.

[penvzila]

Thanks for this guide, I have been waiting for this. Let's see if it works now.

[ting]

I first had the problem with an error on edje. I think this was due to something that was installed before. (I had used automatix, to download alot of stuff, and the shadoi method to install enlightenment, so there was probably something i did'nt remove).

Anyway, i did a reinstall of ubuntu, upgraded the kernel (still 386), and all the other stuff(all upgrades). And it worked. This is what i did:

Follow TimmyJ's instructions, untill after i downloaded the script,
edited the script as described in wanderingstar's post, and continued following the instructions in TimmyJ' spost.

Until...
Note: you must replace **user_name** with YOUR actual user name.
Code:

sudo chown -R user:**user_name** ~/.ecore

This gave me some strange errors, but when i did it like this(i think):

sudo chown -R **user_name** ~/.ecore

said in another way:

sudo chown -R xxxxx ~/.ecore

it worked.
I dont know what the difference is though. If anybody knows..... enlighten me:p Could be something about naming conventions in the "linux" comunity or something i guess.:confused:

it meant 'usermname:usergroup'. In Ubuntu a usergroup for a user is the same as the username (in SuSE as I remember usergroup is usually 'users'). For example, is a user name is 'ubuntuer', then this part of the HOWTO should look like:
sudo chown -R ubuntuer:ubuntuer ~/.ecore

thanks! I hope i did't mess anything up.:p

Try this -
gconftool-2 /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop -t bool -s false

If you make a theme, post it! I used e17 almost exclusively under Debian - when I switched to Ubuntu, it was the first time I'd spent much time in Gnome. Between the Ubuntu tweaks and 2.12 it was very impressive, but this Howto reminded me it was time to return to e17. Now I need themes.. :)

edit: Let me clarify, that solves the nautilus background problem. Other items, sorry - someone else can help!

[anatole]

thanks for the howto, i successfully installed e17 with it.. even i was surprised ;)
still, i dunno when i'll switch to e17, as the fileselector is still broken in the cvs...

[N8K99]

I have ubuntu on a low ram machine which is why I sought out Enlightenment in the first place, so I have yanked Nautilus and all things Gnome off the machine and now it runs quite nicely. I still am wondering how to configure so that Entrance works from the /opt. When I was running it from the repository builds, just installing Entrance and removing GDM set everything up nicely, but now I have to do something else.

I have an idea for a theme beginning to be sketched out. I am calling it Enlightened Ubuntu. I could show you the graphical sketch, but I'm gonna wait until I get into the actual technical process before I start letting it slide out.:cool:

[TimmyJ]

I believe an ubuntu E17 theme is already in development.

You can get a sneak preview shot here: http://www.get-e.org/Screenshots/User_Submitted/_images/ubuntu_theme_2.jpg

[penvzila]

Sort of worked. I get segmentation faults when I try to use the configuration menu, and I can't remember how to install the thing that gives menu and background editing a gui.

[daedalusman]

I'm getting the following error when I run the script. I have tried it with the thintux repo and with the sourceforge repo, neither work and both produce the same error. I tried them both with clean directories, meaning I deleted the e17_cvs and e17 directories but that doesn't help either.

have you got e17 installed before from repositories?

[foxy123]

How to get engage into entangle? I remember that I had it before when used one of the repos. Now it is not there. Also I used to have entangle in Configuration menu (I guess it was called Menu Editor of Configuration) but now I have launch it from command line. Any way to put it in the menu?

In general, do you use ibar or engage for your programme launcher? What is ibox, btw. I thought it should place minimised programmes on the desktop, like iconbox in xfce, but I just have a white square and that's it.

[TimmyJ]

to add anything to engage or the ibar you need a .eap file. Refer to www.get-e.org for more information on making and editing .eaps. The Ibox does exactly what you thought it does. Whenever you iconofy a window, it's icon is stored in the Ibox.

[TimmyJ]

Sort of worked. I get segmentation faults when I try to use the configuration menu, and I can't remember how to install the thing that gives menu and background editing a gui.

In the current state of CVS the configuration menu is very new and unstable, this is most likely why it segfaults. As for GUI configuration of backgrounds and menus, you are referring to the program entangle and emblem. These programs are installed in the e-utils package, which if you followed my directions sould be installed already. Simply run entangle and/or emblem from the command line.

it is easier to do using e17menu and entangle... you run e17menu to generate eap files and then drag'n'drop them in entangle. However while I have ibar tab there, I do not have engage tab.

I've taken a look at /.e/e/applications. I've got all dirs there: all, bar, engage, favorite, restart, startup and trash. However, engage does not show up. Could be it because engage dir does not contain .eap.cache.cfg file, while all others have?

[daedalusman]

I did have it installed from repos but as far as I know I have removed it completely. I have searched for allthings e17 and can't find anything that I didn't uninstall, I could be messing something but I don't know. Is there a list of things that I could use to uninstall it?

It could be the others have the .eap.cache.cfg file, if that doesn't work out for you make sure there is a .order file in your engage directory

try libedje and also look for other libe* names to make sure that you have removed all e libraries.

yes, it was it. I have copied .eap.cache.cfg from all and engage tab has immediately appeared in entangle.

It depends on the repo you installed from. You could try contacting that repo's maintainer to get a list of all the apps that can be installed from it.

I believe an ubuntu E17 theme is already in development.

You can get a sneak preview shot here: http://www.get-e.org/Screenshots/User_Submitted/_images/ubuntu_theme_2.jpg

Oh that is so much better than what I had going on my sketchpad! Well, I will have to adjust a bit or wait. Still wondering how to get entrance to start up when I turn the computer on. Anybody know how to configure X11?

[tuke81]

The mostly incredible and really unbelivable has become true:
You compiled e17 sucessfully!

\O/:D :p ;)

Heh heh works fine thanks, btw I was installed it before from there
try this guide.

https://vogelweith.homeftp.net/Linux/e17_en.php too.

So it seems to work with both how-tos. And I DIDNT uninstall it before i installed
this like is adviced in this how-to... So make sure that all those packages are installed:
sudo apt-get install build-essential cvs libtool libltdl3-dev automake1.9 autotools-dev libpopt-dev libcurl3-dev libx11-dev x11proto-xext-dev libbz2-dev libid3tag0-dev libpng12-dev libtiff4-dev libungif4-dev libjpeg62-dev libssl-dev libfreetype6-dev bison flex xlibs-dev gettext libimlib2-dev libxml2-dev libxcursor-dev libgtk1.2-dev autoconf pkg-config libpng3-dev
, before you try this it should work.:cool:

[N8K99]

ok thus far I have sort of solved my problem. Since I have completely removed anything Gnome related from my system, there was no way for me to go straight into enlightenment upon powering up. Well, now when I type startx, enlightenment is started as well. I had to create my own .xinitrc file in my home directory. Well duh! you may say, bu I did not know that and it took some exploring the many rooms of the UNIX tower and discovering that the Archmages who had come before me wrote a manual for everything (or nearly everything.)
Now, I must figure out how to put startx into the boot cycle - and also how to configure entrance to work properly.

We are ommiting the library emotion and the video player eclair because they require a newer version of a library (xinelib I believe) than the one available in the ubuntu repositories.
so there is no way to install eclair? I sort of like its design :)

[TimmyJ]

so there is no way to install eclair? I sort of like its design :)

Well, technically there is no way to install emotion...which eclair depends on. Once finals are over I plan on adding a few more things to this how-to (entrance and how to get the newest xine-lib so that emotion and eclair will work). Thanks for all the feedback guys.

you can also mentioned how to install modules and activate them:

1. Download modules you like from http://www.get-e.org/Resources/Modules/
2. Untar them

tar xfvz <source> for *.tar.gz or
tar xfvj <source> for *tar.bz2

cd to source directory

For all modules except evolume:
./autogen.sh --libdir=/opt/e17/lib
make
make install

For evolume
Make sure that you added /opt/e17/lib in /etc/ld.so.conf and run
sudo ldconfig
./configure --libdir=/opt/e17/lib
make
make install

The mudules will be installed in ~/.e/e/modules/

If you would like to install them to /opt/e17, then you should use
--prefix=/opt/e17 and sudo with 'make install'.

To load modules use:
enlightenment_remote -module-load <module_name>

To enable it go to the menu (right-click on desktop) Modules - Module Name - Enable

I have also attached my screenshot made with 'screenshot' module with the following modules: rain, weather, evolume, engage, moon and screenshot.

Thx for the help foxy! I shoulda added that from the get-go...I love my modules :-P. Anyways, do you think I should add this to the original how-to on the first page, or would that make it too long? Is there a way I can say "check out how to install modules here:" then just link to that specific post?

I've figured out how to install eclair. Jus installed new libxine from source with /opt/e17 prefix. After that emotion and eclair are compiled fine.

So another challenge is evidence. Not only I have to download it separately, the damned thing does not compile. Give me the error:

Hi-
First of all thank you for bearing in mind this a newbie writing.
Following tutorials on the site,E17 seems to be accessible and it looks very nice but I can't choose to go Gnome,Failsafe,Enlightenment and so on.
And whatever happened to my Application - System -Places -Panel - Add to Panel,etc.....??None of those in sight on desktop.
Excuse me if this is stupid but I just had to ask someone.

[synd7]

I've just used the script and it works greak but i noticed that theres no sign of evidence (file manager) and examine (configuration stuff).
Is there some way to add them into the script cos im sick of using an unskinned nautilus for file browsing.

I kniw that i could do them manually but then the script wouldnt update everything.

you may try to compile it separately, though it looks like it has not being developed for a while: the last CVS commit was in July. E now has its integrated file manager EFM (Files item in the menu), it is buggy (you may need to call it twice or resize to see the files), but it provides basic features.

[foxy123]

BTW, the script has been updated to use a new mirror and compile imlib2 library. And another thing, you do not need to run script with sudo, it will ask you for the password.

[vaskark]

Great HOWTO. But why isn't the e_modules packages built? That's where the flame module is ...

Also, in the ~/e17_cvs directory that's created I think the 'misc' folder gets downloaded twice (~/e17_cvs/misc and ~/e17_cvs/e17/misc).

[TimmyJ]

There is no longer any e_modules package in the e17 CVS tree. Seperate modules are now only available through www.get-e.org

[TimmyJ]

The script used in this tutorial has gone through some changed very recently (noted above by Foxy). This may require certain parts of this HOW-TO to be unneccesary or changed (namely messing with the permissions).

I suggest anyone that has used this how-to to re-download the new script due to the change in mirrors it downloads from. For this to work you must remove the /e17_cvs directory and then re-run the script (try this w/out sudo and tell me how it works :))

Just want to know, can I move the contents of /opt/e17 into my directory tree like the regular packages on my computer so that I no longer have to type /opt/e17/bin/enlightenment_remote to call eutils? I guess my question is, if I have no Gnome stuff or KDE for that matter, in fact it's only enlightenment on my machine- can it reside in my directory tree or must I leave it all in the /opt directory?

I guess my question is, if I have no Gnome stuff or KDE for that matter, in fact it's only enlightenment on my machine- can it reside in my directory tree or must I leave it all in the /opt directory?

Well, there are a couple things you can do. The easiest by far is adding /opt/e17/bin to your PATH. This means that you can type any command in the /opt/e17/bin directory w/out using the prefix '/opt/e17/bin'. There are instructions on how to do this on the first post. Another possibility is when using the script, you can change where you want it to installs, open the script with any text editor and you will find instructions there. But, to answer your question, enlightenment can reside anywhere on your system. It is completely relocatable. The reason this script uses /opt/e17 is that so it does not interfere w/ any other versions of enlightenment one may have.

[N8K99]

It's not a weekend without me spending time re-configuring my system. Due to another crash that was self-inflicted, I had to once again reinstall the base system. No problem, but I opted to return to Shadoi's repository for it was not nearly as troublesome to set up to operational levels. I tried to follow the posted howto to add /opt/e17 to my PATH but something did not work out properly. And I had difficulty getting Entrance to operate. By returning to the repository I was able to get a good somewhat solid version running. I'm sure that in a couple of weeks when I have to do this again, there will be new options which I am willing to pursue. I do prefer Enlightenemnt over GNOME or KDE so am looking forward to the work progressing on e17.

[bored2k]

Is Entrance safe enough to use? I've been using E17 for about a week now and I havent used Entrance out of fear of it messing up.

[TimmyJ]

Is Entrance safe enough to use? I've been using E17 for about a week now and I havent used Entrance out of fear of it messing up.

Entrance is in a kind of unique position right now. Many people use and love it, I am currently not one of those people. I've used it in the past and managed to struggle through a few problems and get it working, but I've also seen many people who can't for the life of them get it working sucessfully. On top of this the development of Entrance has been very stagnant lately. I'd suggest that if you really want the extra eye candy in your login manager give it a try, you got a pretty good shot at getting it to work, but if it doesn't work for you and/or you find that its missing some features you want. Just ditch it.

A little late in the game (in the cutting edge world of cvs repositories, 24 hours is too late ;-) ), but I've managed to come up with yet another edje error, much like the one benplaut and daedalusman submitted, although with other error messages. I've also installed e16 and e17 before, but I've done my best to remove all e libraries, especially those related to edje. Any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong?

what do you mean by the installation of e17? If you mean this script then all you need is to delete /opt/e17 and maybe the .desktop file in xsessions. There are other ways of installing E17 so you should be mre specific...

[yoshic]

hi!! thanks for write this how-to an the script, i've just donwloaded and installed e17, works great!!1

[firecat53]

Do I need to do anything special to use the script to continue to update my e17 install? When I just ran the ./easy_e17.sh -i --skip=emotion,eclair command from my working installation, it went through and appeared to update the existing CVS tree, but then stopped without compiling anything.

Do I need to delete the CVS tree each time (which would seem contrary to the purpose of CVS!) or delete the /opt/e17 directory?

By the way, it works great the first time :)

Thanks, Scott

no, CVS is updated several times almost every day. The problem could be with thinktux mirror which is used in easy_e17 script.

first of all, do not run it as sudo, the script will ask you to enter sudo password. Then, you may want to change the prefix in the script to /opt/e17, if you want your e17 installation to go there. Otherwise it will be in /usr/local, which is also fine. The main duifference is that if you want to remove e17 in the future for some reasons it will be easier to do with /opt, because all you have to do will be to remove e17 directory from there.

BTW, the difference between easy_e17 and get_e scripts is also that get_e installs extra modules systemwide, while easy_e17 does not install them at all. So you have to follow a small howto from this thread to do it.

What now ?
By the way, I'm running Kubuntu breezy .
upgrade your automake to 1.7 or higher

[drfalkor]

upgrade your automake to 1.7 or higher
Thank you, that worked. But another thing:

it's been not in its most stable state for the last few days...

[drfalkor]

Not for me. When I'm trying to open a folder or something it comes a message like "This is not a bug ..etc...etc..." and then I can chose to ignore, restart or exit, and then "POW"- back to the login screen again :mad:

EDIT:Wooops, did I misunderstand ?

[synd7]

ok, got this thing working great. damn i love enlightenment:)

what i want to know is how to select a gtk2 theme for enlightenment, im sick of having the crappy standard coloured panels in gaim etc.

[drfalkor]

I think it's working now without crashing all the time. What did I do ? Well, I deleted the cvs_dir and runned the script all over again - Wolla, here I am... :p

engage should compile fine with the script

I could not see engage under the modules menu- have I done something wrong ? or do I need to config something ?

It was a bug I guess... try

But you have e installed, have not you? enlightment_remote is a part of e as I understand...

I have followed the howto 100% :p

I have followed the howto 100% :p

it looks like e has not compiled for you... which is strange if you did not have any errors... what script have you used?
EDIT: what have you got if you put 'enlightenment' in the command line (without quotation marks) and hit TAB twice?

[drfalkor]

I used the script in this howto :smile:

Doing it right now- on the line 24: e17_apps="entrance e eclair evfs", I added e_utils to the list.. like this:

(thank you Goeland86)

:p

[TimmyJ]

sry if this was already mentioned, but make SURE that '/opt/e17/bin' is in your path. If its not then none of the commands will work (unless you add the /opt/e17/bin prefix to all your enlightenment commands). If your not sure if it is in your path or not then use this command and copy/paste the results.

echo $PATH

Well this worked for me in the past under gnome but since then I have reinstalled and am now using KDE 3.5 and I am getting this error...

I am running the script as sudo. I have no idea how to get past this bit. Thanks for any help.

Oh and I most definitely have enough disk space.

do not run it as sudo.... also it was reported today that there was a problem with cvs, so wait for some time...

btw, easy_e17 script has been updted. Advice is the same delete your previous cvs directory before running a new version....

I'll wait for a bit to see if it's a problem with CVS, but I'm receiving the same error message as daedalusman.

I've run it as sudo and not as sudo, both give the same error message.

[foxy123]

cvs has been fixed. I recommend to update easy_e17 script and remove your source directory before running it. I guess you do not need to use any exeption as it's said in the HOWTO since xine dependency has been fixed. However, I am not sure since I installed new xine to my /opt/e17.

The script now build modules, which are in the cvs (calendar flame monitor mount rain screenshot slideshow snow tclock weather). Please not that calendar does not work at the moment. Should be fixed shortly thogh.

I have e17 up and running now, however, am clueless as to how to start entangle. I believe it's part of the e_utils package, which looks like it installs with the script. Also, how are those modules (rain, flame, etc.) accessed?

[daedalusman]

I'm still getting this error after downloading the new script and deleting the cvs folder...

I've got the same problem :(
And I have that problen as well! I just ran the script and no change since the last time i ran it 4 days ago.:mad: I tried compiling ecore separately using https://vogelweith.homeftp.net/Linux/e17_en.php but the easy_e17 script doesn't recognise that it's installed...:cry:

For entangle just type 'entangle' in terminal or in Run Command.

For modules go to Configuration/Configuraion Panel/Module Settings in the menu.

Ok well I let it run and it made it through but I wanted emotion and eclair so I installed the latest versions of xinelib and xine-ui from their site. Emotion installed with no problems but I got this problem when it got to eclair.

have you got libtag (or taglib) installed?

[daedalusman]

I've got libtag installed, is there a difference?

[foxy123]

I think it's the same, though I've got taglib 1.4 installed for amarok I guess. My taglib.config is in /usr/local/bin/

[durand]

I managed it get enlightenment working and it is fantastic!!:) :) :D I just compiled the libraries and apps that didn't compile by script manually. Follow these instructions : https://vogelweith.homeftp.net/Linux/e17_en.php to compile them. use ./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/e17/ or whatever ur install path is when compiling them. Then just use the skip "tag" in the script to skip the ones u compiled manually. Mine worked really well!

Cool, script works perfect, and once I installed libxine 1.1.1 and taglib both emotion and eclair install with no problems
