#5 Imlib Error When Browsing "Propaganda Al

[Shlomi Fish]

When Browsing the "Propaganda All" directory one keeps getting:

IMLIB ERROR: SHM can't get SHM Identifier for Shared Pixmap
Wrapper
Falling back on Shared XImages
IMLIB ERROR: SHM can't get SHM Identifier for Shared XImage
Falling back on XImages

On the command prompt and the refresh of the screen is very slow.

I'm using Mandrake 9.0.

Propaganda can be found here:

I downloaded the archive and extracted it, but files under
"All" directory
are symbolic link, and these links points wrong path.
So, gimv cannnot read any files, but I didn't receive such a
error.
Next, I moved other directories under "All" directory, and
tried to read again.
In this case, gimv can read all files without any error and
warnning.

I also tested with Mandrake 9.0 and Imlib.

Could you tell me how did you install gimv and Propaganda?

You have to set the following symbolic links in the All directory:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 seminars seminars 7 Aug 20 15:32 Vol1 -> ../Vol1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 seminars seminars 8 Aug 20 15:32 Vol10 -> ../Vol10
lrwxrwxrwx 1 seminars seminars 8 Aug 20 15:32 Vol11 -> ../Vol11
lrwxrwxrwx 1 seminars seminars 8 Aug 20 15:32 Vol12 -> ../Vol12
lrwxrwxrwx 1 seminars seminars 8 Aug 20 15:32 Vol13 -> ../Vol13
lrwxrwxrwx 1 seminars seminars 8 Aug 20 15:32 Vol14 -> ../Vol14
lrwxrwxrwx 1 seminars seminars 7 Aug 20 15:32 Vol2 -> ../Vol2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 seminars seminars 7 Aug 20 15:32 Vol3 -> ../Vol3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 seminars seminars 7 Aug 20 15:32 Vol4 -> ../Vol4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 seminars seminars 7 Aug 20 15:32 Vol5 -> ../Vol5
lrwxrwxrwx 1 seminars seminars 7 Aug 20 15:32 Vol6 -> ../Vol6

Hmmm... I did it, but I can't receive such a error.

BTW, have you compiled gimv against gdk-pixbuf?
Gimv supports both Imlib and gdk-pixbuf, but I
recomend to use gdk-pixbuf because Imlib is treated
as obsolete by GNOME project.

Usually gimv use gdk-pixbuf when gdk-pixbuf-devel
is detected by configure script, but it is not
installed by detault on Mandrake Linux.
So you should install gdk-pixbuf-devel package
first if you want to compile it against gdk-pixbuf.

Hmmm... Now I don't receive an error either. I guess using gdk-pixbuf
instead of imlib solve the problem. Thanks for your help.
