Jenn:

Make sure you have the following libraries:

imlib 1.9.15
tiff 3.6.1
libungif 4.1.3

wget http://www.pdaxrom.org/unstable/imlib_1.9.15_armv5tel.ipk
wget http://www.pdaxrom.org/unstable/tiff_3.6.1_armv5tel.ipk
wget http://www.pdaxrom.org/unstable/libungif_4.1.3_armv5tel.ipk

Install those and that should fix it.

jenn - dz helped me out... apparently I was missing a few libs (due to feed not working correctly, I had to wget and install ipks one at a time).  

just install the following and it should work:

libungif_4.1.3_armv5tel.ipk
imlib_1.9.15_armv5tel.ipk
tiff_3.6.1_armv5tel.ipk

For the background I use Esetroot, downloadable at my website. fbsetbg calls to Esetroot or any other background setter.

Please point me in the right direction to discover how to get my apps to show up in Fluxbox's menu.

Thanks,

Bill

wmadan

have you run fluxbox-generate_menu yet?

after that, there is a file in ~/.fluxbox called 'menu'.. edit that

Hahaha, I spend 5 hours fighting every part of my system, get it approximately working, and now see you have posted solutions to all my problems. It could have been wrapped up in 10 minutes. Arg.

bastichelaar,

just curious... since you originally posted FVWM, i have been using that and find it an extremely good window manager.  very flexible and configurable.

how is fluxbox better?  after tweaking FVWM for a while, why would i (or you) switch?

after playing 2 hrs fluxbox (first time )
the toolbar and menu are bit small for Zaurus

i always click the wrong thing


is there any way to make it larger? for easy access?

i ran 'pmonobut' and 'mb-applet-volume'
both work fine

but again.... too small for the toolbar


anyways
it's a great Window Manager

Sorry for crossposting, but I figured this question would be better placed here:

Is this version of Fluxbox supposed to work with RC5? Because I'm getting the following error: "fluxbox: relocation error: fluxbox: symbol __floatsisf, version GCC_3.0 not defined in file libgcc_s.so.1 with link time reference".

Quite a mouth full

Anyway, it looks as if either it expects a different libgcc version, or it's compiled with a different float setting (which changed between RC5 and the previous version). Or is this just a matter of upgrading a package?

Any help is appreciated.
