hi,
when i launch fusion-icon i get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/fusion-icon", line 57, in <module>
    from FusionIcon.interface import choose_interface
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/FusionIcon/interface.py", line 22, in <module>
    from util import env
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/FusionIcon/util.py", line 23, in <module>
    import os, compizconfig, ConfigParser, time
ImportError: libprotobuf.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have protobuf installed.
I have installed compiz with:

yaourt -S compiz-fusion-gtk

How do i fix this?
Thanks a lot for your help.

I also have this issue, it seems as though compiz needs recompiling to use libprotobuf.so.7. I've tried symlinking it with .so.6 but it complains that it was not compiled for 2.4 and you must use 2.3.

Ok, this is due to the repository that was added from installing yaourt. Uninstall everything compiz, remove the archlinuxfr repository and re-install.

Introducing unnecessary symlinks is a sure fire way of messing something up in the future. I hope you were doing that only to test it out and then removed the symlink.
