ccp & ccsm problems

[jjlawren]

I'm having some issues with not being able to use ccp. I've got ccs-lib installed, and I'm using Gentoo. It looks like libccp.* is installed to /usr/lib64/compiz/ but ccsm is looking in /usr/lib64/compizconfig/backends/.

$ equery f ccs-lib

/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/libcompizconfig.pc
/usr/share
/usr/share/compizconfig
/usr/share/compizconfig/global.xml
/usr/share/locale

If I edit .compizconfig/config and set the backend to ccp, I get the following output when running ccsm:
$ ccsm
....
libccs: dlopen: /usr/lib64/compizconfig/backends/libccp.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

If I create a link to libccs.* from where it's looking:
$ ccsm
....
libccs: dlopen: /usr/lib64/compizconfig/backends/libccp.so: undefined symbol: allocateDisplayPrivateIndex

Am I using the wrong combination of tools/libraries?

It seems that gentoo is referencing old projects on the git repository. I think you either have to wait for it to be updated, or build compizconfig from source on your own.

Try this: rm -r /usr/portage/distfiles/git-src as root of course.

Hello jjlawren,

Have the above two posts helped you to solve the issue? If so, we would really appreciate a follow-up on your status (what exactly you did). You can also edit the subject of your first post and add "[SOLVED]" to it, to help us in keeping the forums tidy.

If not, what have you tried and what were the results?
