I just followed the arch guide on how to install compiz, and when i run fusion-icon in the terminal i get this error:

libccs: dlopen: /usr/lib/compizconfig/backends/libgconf.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

What guide did you follow? The Wiki? Which Compiz version did you try to install following the Wiki -- 0.8 or 0.9? What packages did you install?

We need more information than you have provided in order to help you.

Re: Compiz: can't find /usr/lib/compizconfig/backends/libgconf.so

I used this guide to install the 0.8 series: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … 0.8_series

These are the compiz-related packages i currently have installed:

ccsm
compiz-bcop
compiz-core
compiz-fusion-plugins-extra
compiz-fusion-plugins-main
compizconfig-python
fusion-icon
gnome-session-compiz
libcompizconfig

I am currently using the Cinnamon DE with GDM as my display manager. My goal is to run compiz as a standalone window manager. The terminal output from my original post is what happens when i run fusion-icon in the terminal while using Cinnamon. When trying to log in with Compiz as a standalone window manager, the screen is black after I log in, and stays that way no matter how long i wait.

Thanks for the reply! It's my first forum post. Let me know if you need any other information.
