Hi,
I have a problem when I am trying to install fvwm-2.0.40 on my PC
running
Debian 0.93R6. I modified configure.h to my liking (just the variables
telling where to install various things) and then I did what is
said in the INSTALL file to build and install fvwm:
# xmkmf
# make Makefiles
# make
# make install
...
rm -f fvwm2
gcc -o fvwm2 -O2 -m486 -ansi -L/usr/X11R6/lib add_window.o
bindings.o borders.o builtins.o colormaps.o
colors.o complex.o decorations.o events.o focus.o
functions.o fvwm.o icons.o menus.o misc.o
module.o move.o placement.o read.o resize.o
style.o virtual.o windows.o -lXpm -lXExExt -lXext -lX11
/libs/libfvwm2.a
GetFont.o(.text+0x8f): undefined reference to `XLoadQueryFont'
GetFont.o(.text+0xb3): undefined reference to `XLoadQueryFont'
make[1]: *** [fvwm2] Error 1
...
#
Can somebody help me and tell why `XLoadQueryFont' is undefined and
what I should do to fix the problem? Please send me email
directly and I will summarize the answers...

I immediately got two replies, from
Richard Kaszeta <kaszeta_at_me.umn.edu> and from
Sebastien Marineau <marineau_at_genie.uottawa.ca>
both of them telling me what the problem is and how to fix it. Here is
Sebastiens advice:

I did this and re-made fvwm from scratch and it worked just fine!
