Backintime

After reading the Arch User Magazine this month I decided to give Back In Time a shot but I can't seem to get the PKGBUILD to work.  I keep getting the following error:

==> Building and installing package
which: no gnome-session in (/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/opt/java/jre/bin:/usr/bin/perlbin/site:/usr/bin/perlbin/vendor:/usr/bin/perlbin/core)
which: no kdeinit4 in (/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/opt/java/jre/bin:/usr/bin/perlbin/site:/usr/bin/perlbin/vendor:/usr/bin/perlbin/core)

==> ERROR: An unknown error has occured. Exiting...
Error: Makepkg was unable to build backintime package.

Both of those which statements make sense because I'm using openbox.  So I tried installing the backintime-kde4 PKGBUILD and it installed correctly but will not load a GUI.  I'm guessing that's because when it runs it says:

[kurt@arch ~]$ backintime
Autodetect GUI mode: gnome

Which is not kde4 obviously.

Any suggestions?

Re: Backintime

I thought i read somewhere you need java to run backintime and something about a javalib which needed to be linked to somewhere else.

I am sorry, but i cannot remember where i read it.

Thanks for the reply sveri80.  I'll look into that now.

Re: Backintime

Maybe it has been fixed already, but running backintime-gnome works for me.
