Thankfully with a few changes to the source and the makefile 64 bit users can work around this issue with relative ease.
1. Download the latest source and extract it. You can use your home directory but you might find that if you need to compile other programs from source that it becomes a bit messy. I like to keep all my sources as well as personal programming projects in a
2. Make sure you have all the dependencies (found in README.txt). If you are running a regular install of Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) and haven't deleted any of your python packages you can do this by opening a terminal and running:
sudo apt-get install python-numpy python-xlib deskbar-applet3. Go to where you extracted the file. Open up MakeFile in a text editor and replace all instances of
4. Do the same with:
setup.py src/bin/GnoMenu.py src/lib/bonobo/GNOME_GnoMenu.server
5b. Now I haven't tested this part as I don't need it but if you wish GnoMenu to integrate with AWN, Cairo-dock, Gnome-Do or XFCE4 you may have to make similar edits in the files contained in
6. Now your all set to compile. Go back to the main gnomenu directory and run the makefile. The easiest way to do this is go to the directory in a terminal and run:
sudo make installIt should now be selectable as a deskbar applet when you right click a panel. Enjoy a beautiful new and theme-able menu.

Thank you very much. I'm not properly a nob with linux and I couldn't do it (never cross my mind rename the src/lib to src/lib64) and you can't find detailed information on how to do this as easy and explicit as what you have here. Bravo
Thanks, and you're very welcome.
Thank you. This works great :)
