Well I'm not trying to start FvwmPager through the
command line.
I basically installed fvwm2 the way the directions
tell me to. I haven't touched .cshrc and I don't have
a .profile, but I do have a .dtprofile.
I remember having a small problem running ./configure
I was getting the following error:
configure: error: can not run test program while cross
compiling
So someone told me to run ./configure with the
following options:
./configure --without-cxx
He said that running this would eliminate a minor
module written in C++
The version of fvwm is 2.2.4
I was using fvwm on another system (ultra5) and the
way I used to launch fvwm was by login into command
line mode and then typing the command "startx" and
that would automatically launch fvwm. But on this
system (ultra 1 solaris 8) when I execute startx it
says command not found, can't do a man startx either.
So I found a site that showed me how to add fvwm to my
CDE login screen. So now when I'm at the login screen
I go to options/session/fvwm and wala fvwm comes up
fine but with no pager.
Here's the site that showed me how to add fvwm to my
win manager list

Could this be why? Thanks for your help.
