Change-log:
Current: 2008/04/28 First Version 0.14

I get the following error message while launching the program after loading gtk+-2.10.uci this and then this geany extension: /opt/bin/geany: error while loading shared libraries: libXfixes.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I get the same error when I tested geany with the gtk+-2.10.uci. It _should_ work with gtk+-2.10.uci since geany does not require anything beyond a very basic gtk2 setup. I was hoping that it would. But does work with the gtk2 extensions mentioned in the info file for sure, even though they don't contain libXfixes.so.3. Juanito would be able to explain if this is an issue with the cairo/gtk2+-10.uci setup, or if it is a configuration issue on our part.

EDIT: geany works fine with the gtk+-2.10.uci extension. I just had to set it up right. The libXfixes.so.3 error comes up when /opt/cairo-1.2/lib is not in your /etc/ld.so.conf file. When that is added and ldconfig is issued that error goes away.

The libXfixes.so.3 error comes up when /opt/cairo-1.2/lib is not in your /etc/ld.so.conf file.

- but, in recent versions of dsl at least, when you load a uci extension the libs in that extension are automatically added to ld.so.conf??

True. I was using DSL 3.4.11. For the most recent DSLs, a simple "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gtk+-2.10/lib" in the terminal before starting geany or any other app will do when using gtk+-2.10.uci.
