Somewhere near the top, you must do undefine(`include') or all neat paths to the pixmaps in ../X11/include/... will get mangled. This is in the port patches. I also had a problem with the pre-packaged fvwm appearing to be seriously crippled and eating loads of cpu. This was due to it assuming that getdtablesize() would return a value that would fit into an fd_set. It didn't. /Mikko -- Mikko Työläjärvi (mikko@dynas.se) <Insert cheesy quote here> DynaSoft, Dynamic Software AB
