But I still have the default window borders. The differences between these 2 machines is that one is running Gentoo and the other Fedora Core 6, I am rather new to Fedora so I have no clue what’s different and why my config won’t work, maybe different versions? Any ideas? I can post my ~/.fvwm2rc’s if needed.
You get default window borders, because that’s what’s specified in $(fvwm-config -d)/ConfigFvwmDefaults. FVWM reads this file before it does any other file, which is why one typically overrides such style settings in their ~/.fvwm2rc file.
I suspect what’s happening is that your FC machine is running FVWM 2.4.X which might explain a lot. Of course, without more pertinent details from you as to what is actually wrong, I can’t be anymore specific than that. Although you should read the following:
That’s what my friend suggested, minus the ldconfig -X part, figured that might help, still no go after symlinking libpng.so.3 to libpng.so.2 and libXft.so.2 to libXft.so.1 I still get failed deps on libpng and libxft. hrm, can’t seem to find out how to get them besides updating xorg, might give that a shot soon
Yea, the rest of Fedora is so nice and clean though, as soon as I try to get fvwm working it gets a little messy, sometimes that’s the best part but if you don’t see any progress sometimes you just have to vent your frustration somehow hehe. anywho here’s the output of ldd ($which fvwm)
I’m using prebuilt binaries from fvwm-themes.sourceforge.net/rpm/.
Current installed version of fvwm is 2.4.19 on my fedora box, 2.5.18 on my gentoo box which could explain the lack of compatibility, which is why I’m hopefull that getting to a 2.5.x fvwm will help fix this issue.
