[Solved]error installing lxpanel

[donjames]

I get the following error when installing lxpanel:

plugin.c:32:10: fatal error: gdk-pixbuf-xlib/gdk-pixbuf-xlib.h: No such file or
directory
 #include <gdk-pixbuf-xlib/gdk-pixbuf-xlib.h>
          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
####### end of error message ######

This error message was the result of:

emerge lxde-meta

How can I fix this?

Thanks,

lxpanel.txt

Yes, gdk-pixbuf is installed.
 

[Oleg Vinichenko]

it is very likely installed without X use flag enabled, for desktops system you need to enable desktop profile, which can be achieved by

epro flavor desktop

this way gdk-pixbuf will be merged with X use. Ultimately lxpanel must depend on gdk-pixbuf[X], which is perhaps it missing.

Hi Oleg,

Here's what I did:

ran epro flavor desktop

put USE="X" in the make.conf file.

then

emerge -uDNv lxde-meta

Got 113 packages to emerge.

I will let you know what happens.

Thanks for the help.

It worked!

Here's what I did:

1) edited make.conf file:

USE="X"

emerge -uDNv lxde-meta

All packages emerged including lxpanel

Thanks  for the help.
