I think I have found the problem

I downloaded the tar ball and looked inside. There are three directories, the main eXperience folder along with two more, ice and olive but in my .themes directory i only had the olive directory...

anyways, I removed the eXperience* dirs from .themes, downloaded the tar ball http://art.gnome.org/download/themes/gtk2/1058/GTK2-EXperience.tar.gz and manually extracted it to /home//.themes

If after you do this and it still doesnt work check that you have correctly installed the libexperience engine

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 47 Aug 8 20:55 /usr/local/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/engines/libexperience.so -> /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/engines/libexperience.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 47 Aug 8 20:56 /usr/local/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/engines/libexperience.la -> /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/engines/libexperience.la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 47 Aug 8 20:53 /usr/lib/gtk/themes/engines/libexperience.so -> /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/engines/libexperience.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 47 Aug 8 20:53 /usr/lib/gtk/themes/engines/libexperience.la -> /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/engines/libexperience.la

I configured it like this:

./configure --prefix=/usr

HTH and good luck

Hello,
I too am having difficulty installing the theme. I installed the theme engine in both /usr and then /usr/local, each time reinstalling the theme with no success. The map of metacity does not show libExperience.so in memory but other themes show thier respective engine.

I am using FC4 as well

Any help would be apprieciated
Thanks,
