I try to follow the wiki page at http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_AIGLX but when I try to compile compiz (emerge -av compiz) it failed because of mkinstalldirs :
Code:

 /bin/sh ../mkinstalldirs /var/tmp/portage/compiz-0.0.13_pre20060710/image//usr/share


I used a dirty trick to fix the problem,

I open 2 terminal next to each other to do the following :
terminal 1
Code:

updatedb
locate mkinstalldirs
emerge -av compiz


then when the installation started, I use the second terminal to copy a located mkinstalldirs in the newly created tmp directory while the installation was going on but before it failed because of missing mkinstalldirs
terminal 2
Code:

cd /var/tmp/portage/compiz-0.0.13_pre20060710/work/compiz/
 cp /usr/share/glib-2.0/gettext/mkinstalldirs ../

it went smoothly after that

the code looks specialy dirty as I am not a code person and I just copy/paste from my terminal

good luck all

yes, compiz like all xgl and the other one (cant remember the name, aiglx or something) are still mostly in development, so it move fast, the new package must have a fixe for this particular problem, your package is 4 version after mine.
