Hi @japp1egate. A couple of quick things:

1) ''I've gotten past the issue I'd reported by installing the package "compiz" from the repo, rather than "compiz-manjaro"''

You mean you installed compiz from the AUR, right? Neither compiz (this package), nor compiz-manjaro nor any other compiz packages are in the Arch repositories. It would actually be against policy for this package to be in the AUR and the official repositories at the same time.

2) ''Now that I have compiz 0.9.13.0 running''

You should have 0.9.13.1 installed, not 0.9.13.0. I updated this PKGBUILD to point to 0.9.13.1 in November 2016. Was this a typo or are you actually trying to use the older version??

3) ''I cannot launch ccsm.''

So what you've got there is a dynamic linking issue. The compiz you've installed is linked against a particular version of the libprotobuf library. The version it's linked against is no longer on your machine because it was replaced by a newer version in an update. The correct way to resolve this is simply to rebuild compiz against the newer version of libprotobuf.

@Chazza

You were correct in that this was not an actual Compiz problem. I've gotten past the issue I'd reported by installing the package "compiz" from the repo, rather than "compiz-manjaro" (installed due to sleep-deprivation). This led me to installation of proper nVidia graphics driver, as something had somehow hosed my display. Solved that (not related here).

Now that I have compiz 0.9.13.0 running, I cannot launch ccsm.

$ ccsm Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/ccsm", line 93, in <module> import compizconfig ImportError: libprotobuf.so.13: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory</module>

Is the compizconfig that it's trying to import a file I can edit, wherein I might change the entry from libprotobuf.so.13 to libprotobuf.so.14, which actually resides on my machine?

Thanks!

@Chazza

I'll investigate those links, but this is a fresh install of Arch, and I did not conciously install Python to any non-standard location.

Let me see what I can find at those links you provided. If/when I come to a conclusion, I will post here again to update, in case anyone else has the same problem and thinks it's a Compiz issue.

Thanks for helping, @Chazza!

@japp1egate

I've rebuilt Compiz and it builds fine. I couldn't reproduce the error you mentioned. So unless someone else can confirm, I don't think there's a problem with the Compiz PKGBUILD. Looking at that error, I'm wondering whether perhaps you've installed python to a non-standard location? There are a couple of bug reports for this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1204253 https://answers.launchpad.net/compiz/+question/232246

@japp1egate

Hiya. Nope, never seen that before. Or not that I remember anyway. Yes, you've raised this in the right place. Build issues should be reported to the package maintainer. I'm very, very busy at the moment unfortunately but I will try and fix this tomorrow if I have time, otherwise it might have to wait until the weekend.

... and further toward the bottom of the log:

As this is my first time attempting to compile Compiz, I am uncertain as to whether I am bringing this issue to the correct folks. @Chazza - since you are the package maintainer, have you encountered this failure in the past?

(edited to clean up formatting a bit.)

@s_root I've rebuilt compiz and I cannot reproduce that error. Please verify that your system is up to date and also try building the package manually instead of using an AUR helper as I've seen those cause problems for people once or twice.

I hadn't recompiled. I just did and compiz is now working again with protobuf-3.4.1-1. Sorry for false alert and thanks for the tip about checking AUR dependencies.

Florian commented on 2017-10-27 11:47 (UTC) (edited on 2017-10-27 11:48 (UTC) by Florian)

Did you try recompiling compiz? Usually when upgrading libraries you should recompile dependent AUR packages, so the new libraries get linked again.
