Hello all,<br><br>I just installed Sugar on my Ubuntu Linux desktop. <br><br>I encountered following issues:<br><br>When running<br>$ cd /home/moma/sugar-jhbuild/<br>$ ./sugar-jhbuild<br><br><br>1) Error: Cannot create directory `/home/ruan'. Permission denied. (hard coded directory name).
<br><br>make install<br>Making install in src<br>make[1]: Entering directory `/home/moma/sugar-jhbuild/source/matchbox-window-manager/src'<br>make[2]: Entering directory `/home/moma/sugar-jhbuild/source/matchbox-window-manager/src'

<br>make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1<br>*** error during stage install of matchbox-window-manager: Error running make install *** [9/15]<br><br><br> [1] rerun stage install<br> [2] ignore error and continue to done
<br> [3] give up on module<br> [4] start shell<br>choice:<br>-----<br><br>Notice that my home directory is in /home/moma/.<br><br>I solved this problem by creating a temporary "/home/ruan" directory.<br><br>$ sudo mkdir /home/ruan
<br>$ sudo chmod 777 /home/ruan<br><br>And it compiled and installed OK. <br>It put many files in "/home/ruan".<br>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<br><br>2) error during stage configure of matchbox-window-manager:....[9/15]<br><br>XFixesShowCursor error...<br><br>I got this error message several time. <br><br>I downloaded and installed newer libxfixes3 and libxfixes-dev from
<br><a href="http://packages.ubuntulinux.org/edgy/libdevel/libxfixes-dev">http://packages.ubuntulinux.org/edgy/libdevel/libxfixes-dev</a> <br>Actually these packages belong to next version of Ubuntu (Edgy Eft).<br><br>But those packages caused many other errors. So I had to remove them and download / re-install the original Ubuntu Dapper packages from
<br><a href="http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=libxfixes&searchon=names&subword=1&version=dapper&release=all">http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=libxfixes&searchon=names&subword=1&version=dapper&release=all
</a><br><br>$ dpkg -i --force-all *.deb<br><br>This obviously the same as <br>$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall
libxfixes-dev
libxfixes3<br><br>And Sugar was happy. It compiled and installed OK. <br>At the moment, I have no explanation why it worked after re-installation of those packages.<br>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<br><br>3) Running Sugar:<br>I copied all files from (the hard-coded) location<br>/home/ruan/sugar/sugar-jhbuild/ <br>to my working area<br>/home/moma/sugar-jhbuild/<br><br>$ cd /home/moma/sugar-jhbuild<br>$ cp -r /home/ruan/sugar/sugar-jhbuild/* .
<br><br>It copied a "build" directory.<br>----<br><br>How to run Sugar ?<br><br>$ cd /home/moma/sugar-jhbuild<br>$ ./sugar-jhbuild run<br><br>It shows me this picture: <a href="http://bildr.no/view/9288">http://bildr.no/view/9288
</a> (a screenshot)<br>The gecko browser is working well.<br><br>Is this the entire Sugar?<br>What else should I see in the Sugar sreen ?<br>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
