I would be nice if you could describe the machines so that we can guess 
what targets might be available. ggi-log.txt indicates that display-x is 
present but unfortunately the file appears truncated, please retry with 
GGI_DEBUGSYNC=1 in addition to GGI_DEBUG=255 so that the log file is 
flushed after each write (in case it was some crash that caused the 
trunction). ggi-log2.txt indicates that no target works, so for that 
machine it's extra important to know which target you expect to work.

Hello Peter,

I'll try to get a complete log for the first machine.

For the second machine, I am expecting target-x to work since I'm in X and triggering this through terminal. That is how it works on the 3rd machine.

The second machine is running Xubuntu and libGGI and libGGI-target-x was installed using Synaptic. However, I noticed that X.so is not present in /usr/local/lib/ggi/display. I tried downloading the source and installing it that way but the results were the same.

I guess there is something wrong with the target-x? How can I figure out what is wrong with it?

A missing X.so is (of course) fatal for display-x (the name of the X11 
target). A cursory google indicates that Synaptic is just another frontend 
to the package manager and it seems strange that X.so should appear below 
/usr/local when installed from an official(?) package. A more natural place 
would be /usr/lib/ggi/display, methinks. So this smells like a failed 
attempt to build a local libggi, that is now interfering with the distro 
package.

But in order to completely eliminate the distro, we need to know where we 
can find a listing of the content of the Xubuntu libggi .deb.

It would also be good to know if you have anything below /usr/lib/ggi and 
if you have anything in /etc/ggi. Also, do you have anything in 
/usr/local/etc/ggi?

Further, can you please attach the libggi.conf files from the etc 
directories if you have them?

Cheers,
Peter

I did some more searching and the distro seems suspicious to me.
Both http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/libg/libgii/ and 
http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/libg/libggi/ are empty. 
Comparing with some other packages, the .debs should be there.

Why is this the case? Beats me...

So, it seems you must have linked with a locally built libggi.

What were your steps when you built the local libggi? Do you have any build 
logs that you can share with us? Did you "make install" in the top build 
dir? That should have installed X.so (if it was built).

Cheers,
Peter (not an *ubuntu user)

So it is possible that one is conflicting with the other?

Attached is the dir list and both libggi.conf.

I use the default:

./configure; make; make install;

But since it had some permission problems (didn't run as root), so I did sudo -s before trying it a second time.

Ok, the directory listings and the .conf content indicates that the 
installation in /usr (and /etc) is fine. Since /usr/local/lib/ggi/display 
doesn't have any X.so, the installation in /usr/local seems b0rked.

Also, from previous messages I can't determine for sure if you tried the 
distro install first or if you tried to build yourself first, but your 
local build should just work and since by default the build tools should 
look in /usr/local before they look in /usr the local build should "hide" 
the distro install. I.e. a local build should just work even if the distro 
install is b0rked.

So, can you confirm that the distro install didn't work and that you tried 
to build a local libggi after that?

What might be going on is that you don't have development packages for X 
installed and that the libggi configure script therefore doesn't build 
display-x (i.e. X.so) because of a missing dependency. To confirm that, we 
need to see the configure output.

Regarding your other message, the only part demanding root privs should be 
"make install", you should be able to build as a whomever.

Cheers,
Peter

The following were essentially the steps taken.

* check in libGGI and libGII are installed
* get libGGI and libGII devel packages
* run demo <- didn't work
* get 2.2.2 bundle and make install
* run demo <- didn't work
* check for libggi-target-x <- missing
* install libgii-target-x
* run demo <- didn't work
* perform make install in display/X
* run demo <- didn't work

So that is where we are now. It is possible that now target-x will work if I didn't try and load my own build of the library.

I see now that config.log shows some missing X11 hearders. I'm getting the libxt-dev package and trying to redo the libGGI make install.

No, your local build can't fix the distro install (since you are not using 
the same prefix, but you should *not* try to fixup the distro install by 
using --prefix=/usr for your local build.)

> I see now that config.log shows some missing X11 hearders. I'm getting the libxt-dev package and trying to redo the libGGI make install.

I don't think libXt is used by libggi, my guess is that you need some other 
dev packages, but since I'm not familiar with the ubuntu packaging system I 
can't really assist you. Sorry. But now you know where to look, hope that 
helps and good luck.

(BTW, make install in display/X is not supposed to install anything, X.so 
is installed by make install in display-shared)

Also, I recommend either of --disable-static or --disable-shared during 
configure (depending on your needs) to not end up with a bloated libgii.so 
and libggi.so.

It would also be interesting to know in what way the distro install is 
failing, we haven't seen and GGI_DEBUG=255 logs from that failure.

Hmmm, in the above list, you mention installing the libgii-target-x 
package. Did you also install libggi-target-x, or was that just a typo? 
There /should be/ a dependency from the libggi target package to the libgii 
counterpart, so the libggi target package should be enough. Hmmm2, is the 
package name really libgii-target-x, or is it libgii-input-x?

Cheers,
Peter

Sorry that was a typo. I meant to say libggi-target-x.

We needed libXt-dev package for some header files that libGGI looks for to enable display-x. Once I got that and re did everything for libggi and libgii everything is working.

Thank you for all the help Peter.

Saud
