Having trouble with x11-libs/bcop?

Postby edgevision » Tue Jul 17, 2007 14:49

Last night I couldn't get Compiz Fusion to install on an HP nc6230. x11-plugins/compiz-fusion-plugins-main wanted bcop 0.1.1 and only found 0.1.0 installed.

I used the Sabayon wiki article for Compiz Fusion, located here.

The package has actually been renamed in portage and is now called compiz-bcop. This would be fine, but for some reason x11-plugins/compiz-fusion-plugins-main was still looking for the package under its former name.

Quick and dirty fix (this all must be run as root):
this is probably not the fastest/easiest way, but it worked for me

1) Set up a local portage overlay. (See http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Installing ... ty_Ebuilds) This ensures that on emerge --sync, you won't lose the new ebuild.

2) Copy the compiz-bcop ebuild from the Sabayon overlay to your local overlay under the old name. My local portage overlay resides in /usr/portage/local/layman/local, so I did this:

Code: Select all
cd /usr/portage/local/layman/sabayon/x11-libs/compiz-bcop
cp compiz-bcop-9999.ebuild /usr/portage/local/layman/local/x11-libs/bcop/bcop-9999.ebuild


3) Make a files directory there:

Code: Select all
mkdir /usr/portage/local/layman/local/x11-libs/bcop/files


4) And digest the new ebuild:

Code: Select all
ebuild /usr/portage/local/layman/local/x11-libs/bcop/bcop-9999.ebuild digest


5) Then emerge bcop.

Code: Select all
emerge -a bcop


This is just a temporary fix, I know it will be resolved in a week or so with the upcoming release. Just looking to help out anyone who might find themselves in my shoes!
