How to fix Emerald in Linux Mint 10

When i do

> emerald --replace

i get the error "Segmentation fault"

To fix that I had to follow these steps.



1. Remove emerald completely

> sudo apt-get purge emerald

2. Install some deps packages

> sudo apt-get install git autoconf libtool libwnck1.0-cil-dev libwnck-dev intltool libdecoration0-dev libemeraldengine0

3. Fetch emerald via GIT

> git clone git://anongit.compiz.org/fusion/decorators/emerald

4. Compile and install it!

> cd emerald

> git checkout -b compiz++ origin/compiz++

> ./autogen.sh

> ./configure --prefix=/usr/local

> make                   

> sudo make install

After that i ran

> emerald --replace

and it worked.
