have you installed the needed dependencies for AWN?

sudo apt-get install build-essential autotools-dev libxdamage-dev libxcomposite-dev libgnome2-common libgnome2-dev libgnome-desktop-dev libgnome-vfs-dev libgtk2.0-dev libwnck-dev libgconf2-dev libglib2.0-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev libgnomevfs2-0 libgnome-desktop-2 libgnome2-0 libwnck-common python-gtk2 python-gconf bzr gnome-common python-dev python-gtk2-dev python-cairo-dev python-gconf python-gnome2-dev

hope this helps.

I ended up downloading the source via BZR and compiling it and getting it working.

Hi, I'm having the same problem in Debian Etch. I'm pretty certain I have all the dependencies for AWN. Any insight would be appreciated.

Try to install gettext, it worked for me. Then configure and make again.

Salu2...

mrb1ggles (nmacaulay) said : #6

That didn't work. Could my running 64-bit Etch have anything to do with it?

I can confirm the make continued after I've installed also gettext in ubuntu 7.10
The message "/bin/sh: -o: not found" for awn doesn't show up.
