qt4 is for skype

1. The information you provided is way to vague for anyone to be of help.

2. You should not use a single thread for multiple questions.

3. Welcome to Lunar-Linux.

OK i'm for my fist post i'm going to ask one question
How can i select packages from lunar and install them
i play around with lunar
for example i want to select some goodies for xfce4 and install them
is it possible or i'll have to use "lin <name_of_package> <....> <....> ...."

As already noted, it would help if you said which ISO you had installed.

Firstly: did you follow all of the instructions given in man lfirsttime so that your compiler toolchain, moonbase and packages installed from the ISO are up-to-date?

Secondly, if you are working with any version before the 1.6.2-beta1-i686 ISO described on the Lunar Linux home page, you will need to explicitly lin XOrg7 before you can build any graphical applications. This is the one dependency in the moonbase that is deliberately implicit. It does take some time to work through its own dependencies, so you will have to be patient and let it build while you do something else.

Once XOrg7 has been installed or updated successfully, you can then lin xfce4 and the lin xfce4-extras-profile

Hope this helps

10x for the answer i forgot to read the man
and yes i use the latest 1.6.2-beta1-i686

just to know

No, this isn't an XOrg problem, but I don't remember exactly what it is.

It is either that you haven't built a new kernel, so the kernel headers have not been installed,
so you need to lin kernel-headers-2.6

or

you've hit a glitch in the system and need to lin -rc glibc

and I'm not even so sure about the second. Maybe one of the wizards will see this and be able to give the definitive answer.

Good luck.

PS. Have you tried putting the error message into google and see what shows up?

Indeed, one of the hits from a google search reveals another Lunar forum question, which boiled down to the question:
