Hello,

I find the xpm installation program a bit strange. It seems
that you can only build either the static library or the
shared library in one go but not both at once. To build
the shared library I had to uncomment the following line
in the Imakefile:

IMAKE_DEFINES = -DSharedLibXpm=NO

This gave me the required .a file so now I have:

$ ls /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm*
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.a /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4.11

However I still get the same errors:

[~/fvwm-2.3.17]# ./configure
checking for X11/xpm.h... yes
checking for Xpm 3.4g or better... no

This is very strange. I have Xpm 3.4k! What exactly is configure
checking for?

Thanks,

Best Regards,

Neil
