    ./configure --prefix=/usr
    make
    sudo make install

  • 4 Rich // Oct 7, 2007 at 12:51 am

    If you don’t want to compile, add

    deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42/ gutsy avant-window-navigator
    deb-src http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42/ gutsy avant-window-navigator

    and install

    I have an error:

    I already try to run apt-get update , no luck.

    @eduard: You need to add GPG key:

    sudo apt-key add 8434D43A.gpg

  • 7 eduard // Oct 7, 2007 at 6:34 pm

    Working now. Thank you :)

  • 8 j // Oct 7, 2007 at 10:13 pm

    Out of curiosity, what GTK and decorator themes are you using? They look really good.

    Also, make sure you have python-gnome2-dev installed as well, or the make process will hang because of a missing file…

  • 9 toor // Oct 7, 2007 at 10:58 pm

    @j: Glossy. Thanks for your tip.

    Hi! How do I uninstall it if compiled so I can install it from repos?

  • 11 toor // Oct 8, 2007 at 11:11 pm

    @xcesarfrancox: Try this:

    sudo make uninstall

  • 12 Shane // Oct 9, 2007 at 8:16 pm

    I have followed the instructions, but I seem to get stuck at the second last step:

    After I type in:

    Get the source:
    bzr co http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~awn-extras/awn-extras/trunk awn-extras

    I end up with the terminal window stating that it is in the “Fetch Phase” 1/4 and not much is happening. Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Hi, I have followed all the steps for installing, and I am trying to install on xubuntu 6.10. When I get to the last step:

    ” 3. cd awn-extras/awn-applets/awn-core-applets/
    ./autogen.sh
    make
    sudo make install”

    I get the error message that states:

    Any ideas?

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

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

    Where do I get the stuff. apt-get wont find it.

  • 32 toor // Oct 24, 2007 at 3:41 am

    @django: You can execute this command:

    sudo apt-get install libsexy2

  • 33 django // Oct 24, 2007 at 8:48 am

    @toor

    libsexy2 was already installed. Seems the configfile can’t find it. Or is anything else missing.

  • 34 django // Oct 24, 2007 at 11:59 am

    @toor
    made it work with the deb from above. Anyway would be intrested in my mistake and the solution.

    Sono occorsi degli errori processando:

    The error means that the installation tried to overwrite the /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.Notifications.service yet present in the package notification-daemon.

    Can someboby help me ?

    @38, and the others with libsexy-missing problems:

    looks like i’m not the first one with this problem. the installation was smooth. i see it under application>accessories. but when i click nothing happens. i couldn’t load the AWN manager either.

    please help.

  • 45 Toor // Nov 8, 2007 at 6:56 am

    @Tomas: You can get it from here.

  • 46 Toor // Nov 8, 2007 at 7:02 am

    @rokon: You need to install a compositing manager. For example, Compiz Fusion.

  • 47 precipitous // Nov 8, 2007 at 1:09 pm

    Installed on Ubuntu 7.10. Everything went fine - It is listed under applications>accessories, but it will not launch. Neither will the AWN Manager… I have Compiz Fusion, and its configuration management tools installed… What now?

    I’ve installed avant-window-navigator and everything seemed to go without a hitch, but when i tried to excecute the program from

    Applications>Accessories>Avant-Window-Navigator nothing happened. the program wouldn’t even start. I tried to uninstall it by using the Add/Remove, but it doesnt even recognize it as a program, or at least it isn’t registering as one to be removed from my computer. The icon is there though. any help?
