Problems by instaling compiz-fusion

Hello Everyone!
i could not find a answer in the forum so am asking...
When i try to install compiz-fusion a get this error

 pacman -Sy compiz-fusion-git
error: config file /etc/pacman.d/community, line 2: directive 'community: Arch Linux community repository' not recognized.
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
error: 'compiz-fusion-git': not found in sync db

So what am doing wrong?
and perhaps can you give me  a link about this "sync db".

Re: Problems by instaling compiz-fusion

The first error is probably caused by an accidentally uncommented line in /etc/pacman.d/community.
Add a # in front of  "community: Arch Linux community repository", and you should be fine.

The second one means that pacman didn't find compiz-fusion-git in any of the enabled repositories. Actually there is no git version of compiz-fusion in the official arch repos, only the stable 0.6.0.
For the git version, take a look at this thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=42480

As a side note: you seem to use an older version of pacman. You should consider updating to 3.1.1

Re: Problems by instaling compiz-fusion

Well I installed  compiz-core 0.6.2-4 , compiz-bcop 0.6.0-2, compiz-fusion-plugins-main 0.6.0-3 , compiz-fusion-plugins-extra 0.6.0-2 ,      compiz-manager 0.6.0-2 , fusion-icon 20071111-1 , compizconfig-backend-gconf 0.6.0-2  and compizconfig-python 0.6.0.1-2.
Now i get this:
[root@myhost name]# dbus-launch "fusion-icon"
* Detected Session: gnome
* Searching for installed applications...
* Intel detected, exporting: INTEL_BATCH=1
* No GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap with direct rendering context
... present with indirect rendering, exporting: LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1
* Using the GTK Interface
* Metacity is already running
* Setting window manager to Compiz
... executing: compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp --loose-binding --indirect-rendering

and it stops here. After a minute I get also a kebord error.

Re: Problems by instaling compiz-fusion

You really shouldn't start fusion-icon as root.
It should work perfectly well as normal user smile

[edit]
i just wanted to add: I don't know I this is what causes your error, but it's just generally a bad idea to run things that belong to your normal user (especially if they are X related) as root.

Re: Problems by instaling compiz-fusion

if I don`t run it as root i get this error:

* Detected Session: gnome
* Searching for installed applications...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/fusion-icon", line 57, in <module>
    from FusionIcon.interface import choose_interface

    self.write(open(self.config_file, 'w'))
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/name/.config/compiz/fusion-icon'

how can i change in linux the permission the folder?Will this solve the problem?

{Edit} Changed it .It looks like every thing is ok.
