I want to try the really cool shiki colors gtk theme with the murrine engine, to do that I checkout the latest svn version:

svn checkout http://svn.gnome.org/svn/murrine/trunk/ murrine

and compiled as the standard way:

./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --enable-animation
make
make install

After the compilation and install it didn’t work on my 64 bit version, so I just add a symbolic link to the 64 bit libraries directory:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libmurrine.la ./libmurrine.la
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libmurrine.so ./libmurrine.so

Finally ran this two comands in order the icons and gtk themes appear when you run root applications:

sudo ln -s ~/.themes /root
sudo ln -s ~/.icons /root
