Argh! Now when i finally found the screensaver plugin on the xeffects overlay it wont compile.
Got this when i tried to emerge it :
# emerge compiz-users-pafy-screensaver

Is there some known solution to this or do i just need to wait until it is updated the next time ??

Downloaded the latest tarball from opencompositing.com and read in the install.txt that if i got c/c++ conflict i should update the bcop. However i tried that and it didn't help..
HELP!! lol

I suggest you ask on the #compiz-fusion irc-channel.

Joost is right, this is purely a compiz issue so you'll find more answers there. I am trying to solve the same problem as you though, and learned that you not only have to update bcop, but all compiz packages after that as well. They must be updated in order too, there's a list on the fusion forum somewhere, I haven't found it yet.

[CCR]

Yes found your question on their forum about the same problem
Guess we have some reading to do if we want the famous screensaver so many brag about on youtube.
If you solve the problem please post it here...and i will try to do the same.

Ps. thanx for your answers guys Ds.

Tried today again and it worked

had to do :
#emerge bcop
and then:
#emerge compiz-users-pafy-screensaver

Now a quick reboot and then look at the nice screensaver

Why exactly would you need to reboot?

[CCR]

Because to activate new plugin i need to either restart compiz-fusion or log out and log in again.... and both causes a freeze on my computer...so i simply reboot instead
