Expose in Openbox

[Pharnavaziani]

Hey,

I recently started using Openbox, xcompmgr, and AWN as an environment. It performs great and once I iron out a few kinks I'd like to make it my default WM/session. One of those kinks, however, is proving very intractable.

My biggest priority across all workspace environments - KDE, Gnome 2, Gnome Shell, and Unity - has been an 'expose' feature. The ability to hit a button, the idly at my leisure see all/some of my windows, then select some is, for me, far superior to any Alt-Tab style task switcher. It's also quick when needed, (sometimes :/) keyboard friendly, and can make sense from either a keyboard or mouse oriented view.

A few days ago I stumbled across skippy and skippy-xd. I downloaded from source and I supposedly meet all the requirements, but my make command returns the following message (for either program):

~/.skippy/skippy-xd-0.5.0$ sudo make
gcc -I/usr/X11R6/include `pkg-config xft xrender xcomposite xdamage xfixes --cflags` -g -pedantic -Wall -DXINERAMA -o skippy-xd skippy.c wm.c dlist.c mainwin.c clientwin.c layout.c focus.c config.c tooltip.c -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -lm `pkg-config xft xrender xcomposite xdamage xfixes --libs` -lXext -lXinerama

None of my Google searches have turned up with anything....
I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit. My system has plenty of hardware power and everything has always worked out of the box with Linux, equalling or beating the OEM Windows 7 install on everything. I'm wondering if my current version of X11 doesn't support this missing library skippy is finding, and if so what I can do about it (either help with skippy or replacement suggestions would be appreciated). If I could combine the flexibility of AWN and Openbox with the awesomeness of expose window management and lightweight compositing, I'd be a happy, happy person.

Note: thanks to ridetheteapot, the above problem is now solved! However, I am having another problem that prevents the programs from working correctly, which is described below.
