ARG! I can't get Enlightenment working!
I finally (I think) got it working form a tarball. If I try the .rpm, I get a failed dependancy:

[root@localhost root]# rpm -ihv enlightenment-0.16.6-1.rh9.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
fnlib >= 0.5 is needed by enlightenment-0.16.6-1.rh9
[root@localhost root]# rpm -ihv fnlib-0.5-1.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libImlib.so.1 is needed by fnlib-0.5-1
[root@localhost root]#

I know I have installed Fnlib through a tarball. I also installed imlib. I have no idea where to get that liblmlib.so.1. Someone could clue me in on that. I assume its in imlib.

Assuming that I installed everything correctly, I now can't get my Xclient.enlightenment working.

Could someone gimme a hand?

Oh yeah, when I go to

/usr/local/enlightenment/bin

and run Enlightenment, it tells me another Window Manager is running, and it can edit my startup files. I told it to and it did nothing.

I want to be able to switch between KDE, Blackbox, E, and others, that is why I'm going though the Xclient files.

Well, I am having a similar problem with E so maybe we can help each other:)

Since you installed it by tar, it might be located in a different location than it should be? If I were you, I would just install the rpm of E with the --nodeps option. That will force it to install without checking dependency. If it still doesn’t work you can uninstall it later with rpm -e enlightenment or something similar to that.

E installed just fine by rpm on my box after installing the fnlib for dependency. I assume you are using RH9 as I am. My problem is that I can't start E. It seems to install just fine and puts files all over the HD, but when I run startx, I just get a black screen with the X mouse cursor and that is it. Let me know if you get further with it or if you have any input for my problem.
