I have a question that I tried searching for, but maybe I’m the only one who’s had this issue. Hoping not.
I have made VLC my only audio player, and while it does lodge itself in the right-hand corner of the taskbar (and displays the song title) I find it quite irritating to have to right click then scroll up to skip songs etc. I did a random Google search and came across an old program called Music Applet, which is now under development by the Panflute community.
After a full night and half of this afternoon downloading various libraries, I finally managed to ./configure, make, and make install. However, now that it seems to be finished (oh, BTW, for some reason I was unable to “install,” it wouldn’t recognize the command, so I went directly from “make” to “make install,” not sure if that’s affecting this or not) I can’t seem to figure out how to add Panflute to my panel.
My ls in panflute-0.6.2 reads:

Upon entering “make install” (all of this done via root access, no sudo) the last 2 lines before “leaving directory” are:
make[2]: Nothing to be done for ‘install-exec-am’.
make[2]: Nothing to be done for ‘install-data-am’.
So, what am I missing or not doing right? I think I would notice a newly installed program or even an applet, but I’m not seeing anything that looks even similar to what I installed.
Any help?
Oh, BTW, I’m running Suse 11.1, and had to install DBUS-Python and
IMMEDIATE EDIT Oh bloody hell, scrolling up in Terminal, I just saw a bunch of configure: WARNINGs, I’ll C+P them here:

Does that make a difference? If so how do I remedy the situation?
