Trouble with Compiz Fusion on XFCE

This is what I get when I type "fusion-icon" into the terminal:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/fusion-icon", line 57, in <module>
    from FusionIcon.interface import choose_interface
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/FusionIcon/interface.py", line 22, in <module>
    from util import env
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/FusionIcon/util.py", line 23, in <module>
    import os, compizconfig, data, ConfigParser, time
ImportError: libX11-xcb.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I'm running Arch64, XFCE.

Re: Trouble with Compiz Fusion on XFCE

libX11-xcb was in AUR but I can not find it now. Perhaps it was removed for some reason. However it is just libX11 with xcb enabled. Perhaps you coud just create a symlink /usr/lib/libX11-xcb.so.1 to /usr/libX11.so as a workaround.

Re: Trouble with Compiz Fusion on XFCE

I just installed Compiz-Fusion and had the same error.  After re-reading the wiki (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Com … testing.5D), I installed libx11 from the testing repo (pacman -Sf libx11).  Then...I was able to complete the wiki.

You cannot do this, the libx11-xcb has the extra "-xcb" on it for a reason. Compiz requires xbc support and the libx11 in the core(?) repo is not built with xbc. You either need to get it from the testing or some other custom repo or build it yourself with xcb support.
