[Discussion snipped of why Fvwm now dies on me with an error:
ld.so.1: /home7/dcjk/bin/fvwm: fatal: libXpm.so.4.8: can't open file: errno=2
Any help welcomed.]
Dan reckoned LD_LIBRARY_PATH might need tweaked.
I thought of LD_LIBRARY_PATH and attempted to make doubly sure that it
is set like this: (from my .xinitrc, it should already be set)
-----
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:${HOME}/lib
^^^ This is the kludge line for the xpm libs.
if [ "$OW_WINDOW_MANAGER" ]; then # Alternate Window Manager <-- Defined as fvwm
xsetroot -def # Clear root window Usual method of
$OW_WINDOW_MANAGER & wmpid=$! # Start Alt Window Manager running it here.
dsdm & # OpenLook Drop Site Database
unset OW_WINDOW_MANAGER
else
sleep 15 & pid=$! # OpenLook Window Manager
olwm -syncpid $pid & wmpid=$!
wait $pid # Pause until olwm inits
fi
----
Unless I have made a mistake with the syntax here this pretty much rules out
a problem with LD_LIBRARY_PATH does it not? I'm puzzled!
