I lied not my last post:) I now know why I had probs that did not show up normally it was because I run InitNG
*

Because the path to modprobe and alsactl are different between debian and ubuntu, we need to create some link

sudo ln -s /sbin/alsactl /usr/sbin/alsactl
sudo ln -s /sbin/modprobe /usr/sbin/modprobe

So sorry 4 the post...

I had problem after problem installing XFCE even after following the guide. After googling alsa I found a unrelated problem to what I was having & thought I would share this information; if you are failing during installation at the mixer portion of XFCE with an error saying alsa not found perhaps will fix any debian based system try

sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev

If I have helped 1 person I am happy

Happy running it now... good work ladies n gents. My first and prolly last post here Njoy

I'm using dapper too and composite worked right out of the box.

Nevertheless, do apt-get build-dep libxfce4mcs and you should be set.

hth,

I get the following error:

checking for X... no
configure: error: X Window system libraries and header files are required
!! Failed to configure libxfce4mcs, see the errors above
!! for details on the problem.

Yes I've installed the Xorg development packages.

I'm thinking maybe I need to create a symbolic link because of a "non-standard" file locations.

Thanks for any suggestions offered.

BTW: I'm not using apt-get because I want to try transparency.
