Speaking of installing fvwm2.

I've been trying to do the same, and I'm not a C programmer. By
following the INSTALL directions, I think I have it compiled and maybe
ready to go. But I can't find where the executable went. I've tried to
look in the configure and fvwm files, but I don't see exactly where
everything gets installed. Is it the current directory? I noticed much
of the files were updated (the date and time are recent). And to top it
off, assuming everything was compiled in the . directory, where do the
compiled libraries and other files go? I know where the executable for
fvwm is, so I can guess that.

If anyone can work with me off line perhaps, to get fvwm2 installed in
slackware Linux, I would appreciate it.

Thanks!

Adrian
