Aprium Software

The cairo-dock is currently in development and is not very user friendly to set up. Here is what i did to get it working. Its great for having an os x like dock running in gnome.

Install Dependencies

sudo apt-get install librsvg2-bin librsvg2-common librsvg2-dev libglitz-glx1 libglitz-glx1-dev


Get the source and build

cd /usr/local
sudo svn checkout http://cairo-dock.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/cairo-dock-read-only
cd cairo-dock-read-only
make
make install


Then just add /usr/local/cairo-dock-read-only/cairo-dock to your system->preferences->sessions so it loads on boot up.
