Bird's private cuisine on xpenguins equipment (Ubuntu 12.04)

Read a summer vacation Linux, I feel very hard ah, to make good use of Linux is not easy ...

Today, I installed a bird. Xpenguins software is the desktop feature software. There will be a lot of penguin whereabouts, I thought it would be very easy to fix. I didn't think it was a lot of questions.

My environment: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

1. First download Penguin download: http://xpenguins.seul.org/xpenguins-2.2.tar.gz

2. Unzip Tar-xzf xpenguins-2.2.tar.gz, go to Folder xpenguins-2.2

3. It is recommended to install independently, so as to facilitate the future software management, for example, install to/usr/local/xpenguins below it

./configure--prefix=/usr/local/xpenguins

The first question I encountered: xpm library not found

XPM is not installed? I immediately put it on: Apt-get install Libxpm-dev

This problem is more common. In most cases there will be more, no need to panic.

After solving the first problem, I will be able to configure well.

Note: Individual netizens because the release version is different, will appear xext did not find, then can install: Apt-get install Libxext-dev

4. Make

The second question I encountered : x11/intrinsic.h: There is no such file or folder

What is Intrinsic.h. Here is a very good site (http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages), found from the site Intrinsic.h provided by Libxt-dev. Install Now

Make again ... Normal

5. Make install

6. After the installation is complete. To the graphical interface to execute the "/usr/local/xpenguins/bin/xpenguins", Yi, the terminal said in the running why not? Carefully read the readme later found the problem,

In Gnome-session, the window manage, it opens a very large X Window client, which causes the root window to be blocked.

The detailed resolution above has said that false assumptions to see the effect of the words,

Can press CTRL+ALT+F1, enter X:1 &, and then enter Xterm-display:1 & in Tty1. Press Ctrl+alt+f8 to be able to see a white terminal in the boot input/usr/local/xpenguins/bin/xpenguins. You'll see

The penguin fell down in the root window.

PS: Perhaps the effect is not so beautiful as the mind imagines. But into their own efforts to overcome the problem, the heart is very happy, here also found to install software before reading the Readme is how important!
