Battery meter in Gnome (FC3: x86_64)?

[The Warlock]

How do I get a battery meter or something to show up on the panel in Gnome with the AMD64 version of Fedora Core 3?

[imdeemvp]

Right click on taskbar panel and add it from one of the menus that will display.

That's the answer that came up when I searched. I tried that, but there's no "Battery Meter" or reasonable facimile in the "Add To Panel" dialog. Where is it?

Do you have gnome-applets installed from the CD (rpm -q gnome-applets)? Failing that, you could always build the Battstat Applet from source.

It tells me I have gnome-applets-2.8.0-5 installed.

Is it because its the AMD64 version?

EDIT: Also, I can't build battstat from source, because it's configure thingy is looking for gnomeConf.sh in /usr/local/lib and can't find it because it's not there.

Any way to fix this?

ahh... I just checked the x86_64 RPM and it doesn't contain the Battstat Applet like the i386 RPM does. I'd guess that either someone made a mistake and you can expect a package update, or there is a dependency that couldn't be satisfied for the 64 bit build so it was left out.

gnomeConf.sh is found in gnome-libs-devel under /usr/lib64.

[The Warlock]

It still claims to be unable to find it. I guess it is some kind of issue with the AMD64 stuff.
