Description of problem: ccsm (and compiz ccp) requires libprotobuf, which is not provided by any package on Fedora 19, from what I can tell. Instead, one must download and compile libprotobuf from code.google.com Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ccsm-0.8.4-12.fc19.noarch compiz-0.8.8-25.fc19.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install compiz/etc 2. Run ccsm 3. Fail Actual results: $ ccsm Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/ccsm", line 99, in <module> import compizconfig ImportError: libprotobuf.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Expected results: ccsm runs Additional info: libprotobuf is available from https://code.google.com/p/protobuf/ . You must compile and install version 2.4.1 . And then you must make sure INSTALL_LOC/lib is in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH This not only affects running ccsm but affects running compiz itself with the "ccp" commandline option.
libprotobuf is needed and called by libcompizconfig-0.8.8-8.fc19.x86_64. rpmquery --whatprovides /usr/lib64/libprotobuf.so.8 protobuf-2.5.0-4.fc19.x86_64 Which is avaible in the repos. If you install ccsm, libcompizconfig and protobuf will installed as dependency. On my systems protobuf-2.5.0-4 is installed and i got no error about missing libprotobuf if i run ccsm from a terminal.
ack... ok... looks like I somehow still have libcompizconfig from fc17 hanging around. Just have to figure out how to fix that, now, since yum seems a bit confused.
