Compiz Plugins installation issue

[m0wax]

Hi

I have downloaded the compiz plugins but when trying to run "./configure" I get this:


checking for xgettext... /usr/bin/xgettext
checking for pkg-config... pkg-config
checking for gconftool-2... /usr/bin/gconftool-2
Using config source xml:merged:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults for schema installation
Using $(sysconfdir)/gconf/schemas as install directory for schema files
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for COMPIZ_EXTRA... configure: error: Package requirements (compiz >= 0.3.4 glib-2.0 dbus-1) were not met:

Package @GLXCOMP_REQUIRES@ was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `@GLXCOMP_REQUIRES@.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package '@GLXCOMP_REQUIRES@', required by 'glxcompmgr', not found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables COMPIZ_EXTRA_CFLAGS
and COMPIZ_EXTRA_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.


Anyone know how I am supposed to solve this. thanks

It looks like you are missing some development libraries.

You should try installing the binary version of compiz-extra before you try to compile it yourself, it will make things much easier :)
