I found some instructions in a forum, and installed compiz.dev and bcop 
but still get the follwoing error trail during installations.

:~/compizplugins/atlantis2$ make
Makefile:48: *** [ERROR] Compiz not installed.  Stop.
:~/compizplugins/atlantis2$ make
Makefile:144: *** [ERROR] BCOP not installed but is needed to build 
plugin.  Stop.

# after the installs of vompiz-dev and bcop
:~/compizplugins/atlantis2$ make
convert   : atlantis.xml.in -> build/atlantis.xml
bcop'ing  : build/atlantis.xml -> build/atlantis_options.h
bcop'ing  : build/atlantis.xml -> build/atlantis_options.c
schema    : build/atlantis.xml -> build/compiz-atlantis.schema
compiling : swim.c -> build/swim.lo/bin/sh: libtool: not found
make: *** [build/swim.lo] Error 127

I have no idea what this last error means, anyone gat a clue?

Thanks, Later, Ray Parrish
