When running sudo make install and running cde using startx, it hangs at the cde startup screen, i believe it didn't build properly.
Let me know if i need to pin some logfiles(i don't know where they are located)

[Nilton Perim Neto]

I also had the same issue. I made a patch to workaround the fact that it is tanking more arguments than what was expected. Hopefully now it is fine. So far I had no issues. There's a .patch attached Still trying to figure out how to commit in sourceforge

[Chris Murphy]

How do I apply this?

[Chris Murphy]

I'm having the same problem here installing from AUR.

[Jon Trulson]

I don't know how Arch AUR works... But this patch has already been applied to master.

So - can't be of much help. Ask an Arch AUR person :)
