>Originator:     Greg Lehey
>Release:        FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT i386
>Organization:
Sitara Networks Inc., Waltham MA
>Environment:

	4.0-CURRENT as of 18 November 1999, recently upgraded from a
          virgin install of 3.3-RELEASE.

>Description:

	xpm was originally fetched to install fvwm2.  It built without
	returning any error messages, but the subsequent build of
	fvwm2 failed with a missing libXpm.4.  Examination of the Xpm
	build directory and /usr/X11R6/lib showed that only the static
	library libXpm.a had been built.

>How-To-Repeat:

	On a virgin system,

	   # cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/fvwm2
	   $ make install

>Fix:

	It looks like there's something flaky with lib/Imakefile,
	resulting in the Makefiles not having any code for shared
	libraries.  I'll continue to investigate if I have time.
