When I try to start fvwm I get a message libXpm.so.4.6 not found Date: 29 Dec 1996 10:37:11 GMT Organization: Alternate Access Incorporated Lines: 25 Message-ID: <01bbf510$5cef7760$da8dc7cd@bw.aa.net> References: <5a4uv8$5b2@nr1.vancouver.istar.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: cust218.max1.seattle.aa.net X-Newsreader: Microsoft Internet News 4.70.1155 Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:33078 You probably have a libxpm.so of a different version... if not you will have to DL that lib from ftp.x.org ( any number of places have it). If you do have a lib of a different version, say libxpm.so.4.7 just do this: ln -s libxmp.so.4.6 libxpm.so.4.7 (is that order correct ??) If, maybe switch the order there. That should work. You just made a sym link from the shared obj file that you have to a nonexistent one which you don't, so that when it looks for one it gets another (copying works fine too.)
