Hi,

When I try and start fvwm I get the error "Can't load library libXpm.so.4.
This file is located in /usr/i486-linuxaout/lib buy when I put this in my path
I still get the same error.
I am using Red Hat 4.1.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Go to the directory were the fvwm executable is and type:
#ldd fvwm
If any of the libraries do not match get the correct versions from
Sunsite or RedHat and install them as per instructions.(You may be
better off with pre-compiled binaries). Run ldconfig -v and you should
be all set.

PS:(Get the new Slackware 3.2 from Walnut Creek for a killer Linux setup
with no compatibility problems.)

I tried copying the library files to /usr/lib/X11R6/lib and putting both
paths into ld.so.conf and running ldconfig. Now I get the error:

"/usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4 is not an ELF file"
"Can't load library libXpm.so.4"

Please help!!
