Any sugestions? fvwm and fvwm95 require the Xpm (X pixmap) package which you can either install as a package using pkg_add - you used pkg_add to install fvwm, didn't you ? - or compile it from the ports directory in which case libXpm is built prior to fvwm since xpm is in the dependency list. > > < Insert witty phrase here > kevinm@kci.wayne.edu <Kevin McEnhill> > --Chris Christoph P.
