Hello, I just downloaded aero. I am using Linux on a PC. (Debian Linux, on
an AMD K6-2 333). I tried getting the bianry version, and installing it. I
stuck the executable in /usr/X11R6/bin, and IIRC I put the XAero file in
/root/GNUstep/Defaults. I tried setting the XAPPLRESDIR thingie, but I must
have done it wrong, cuz it don't work. I know, I shouldn't be running as
root, but it is a completely isolated box, and that is an argument for
another news server.
could somebody give me the correct command for Linux to set the XAPPL... so
I can use aero.
When that didn't work, I tried downloading the source, but that needed the
FWF, which I eventually found. I can't compile the FWF stuff... it says I
need imake, and some other thing. grrr. I just want to use aero! Please
help!
On a side note -- the page hasn't been updated in quite a while, so I am
wondering how much work it will be to get it to run with the pov 3.0 I have
installed on my Linux partition?! It talks about pov 2.0 in the docs. Oh
well.
Thanks for any help!

The easiest thing is to put the Aero resources file where it belongs. cd
to the dir where you have aero and
cp aero/app-defaults/XAero /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/
You can also manually merge the aero resources with
xrdb -merge aero/app-defaults/XAero

Compiling the XAero source and FWF is not that hard, imake (xmkmf) is
included with your gnu/debian system. Altough after compiling XAero, you
will need to setup it's resources and that's your original problem :).
Saludos!

Hello, I just wanted to say that I did that, and finally figured out the
right command. (silly me!!!) I needed export
XAPPLRESDIR="/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults", while the docs had setenv... Now,
I just need to find out how to get it to keep, so I don't have to type it in
every time I reboot. (Where is that file.... I just need to spend a few
more minutes looking for it, I guess.)
Thanks for your help!
