The questions you have to ask are as follows:
        1. Did you use the correct file for config.h?? There is a solaris
           one in the config directory: <FvwmIconMan dir>/config/solaris

        2. Assuming you used the correct config.h (you copied it to
           ../config.h or soft-linked it to ../config.h), did you specify
           the correct FVWM version switch?? You should have added the
           following to the "DEFINES" line: -DFVWM_VERSION=2
           When I just looked at the solaris example file I noticed there
           was no header stuff. If you look in another example (ie. linux)
           you'll see the following lines commented out at the top:
                # -DNEED_UCHAR if uchar isn't typedef'd for you already
                # -DNEED_ULONG if ulong isn't typedef'd for you already
                # -DFVWM_VERSION=2 if you are compiling for fvwm 2.0

        3. Did you run 'make depend' before compiling? If not run 'make
           clean', then 'make depend', then 'make'. (I assume you did if
              you got it to compile, but it wasn't in the instructions. :)

        So if you didn't use that switch, I would expect it not to work.
Those lines don't seem to appear in either the 'solaris' or 'sunos4', and
the 'make depend' as I recall, isn't in the directions. I run it on an
SGI so I had to hack my own config.h...G'Luck!
