I got it to work by installing yaourt, and then removing wmii and libixp. sudo pacman -R wmii sudo pacman -R libixp
I installed yaourt by putting this stanza in my /etc/pacman.conf [archlinuxfr] Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/i686 Then, I had to tell pacman about new goodies, so I ran: sudo pacman -Sy I installed yaourt sudo pacman -S yaourt yaourt told me that it needed to install/compile libixp-hg I accepted the defaults when it asked me to view the PKGBUILD file. After yaourt installed libixp-hg, I was returned to the command line. Then, I just ran yaourt -S wmii-hg And it worked! I really like the way that the windows open in stacked mode by default. I also really like the way that <ModKey> + F will **toggle** floating mode. I think that in wmi 3.6, you had to do the Shift-Mod-Space thing, which I didn't understand. Looks great, and thanks for the help!
