Awn

Can not install AWN in Debian Lenny

Asked by El Rengo

Hello World!!
I have on my computer installed Debian Linux, I am using a Lenny version of them. I have configured and running on my Debian Compiz-Fusion, work without problems.
Now I would like use a 'Avant Window Navigator' dock bar, I see it and listen very good comment of this software.
In Debian repository I do not found them, later I search but I do not find a Debian package for Lenny of the software. In the project page only have package for Ubuntu, Fedora and other but not for Debian.

I download the last version of the AWN, 'avant-window-navigator-0.2.1', for compile in my system, the first time I Install a new software using a compiling method, always I use apt method.

before start the installation of the AWN I install all dependencies:

[QUOTE]apt-get install build-essential automake1.9 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 gnome-common python-dev python-gtk2-dev python-cairo-dev python-gnome2-dev python-gnome2-desktop gnome-panel python-glade2 librsvg2-common[/QUOTE]

But here is the result of this:

In that dependencies list, please replace libgnome-vfs-dev with libgnomevfs2-dev. Debian lenny and later versions renamed the package. Please try installing the modified list of packages via apt-get, and reply if any other packages are missing.
