I just downloaded and compiled (with only a few problems) fvwm-2.0.45
under Solaris 2.5.1 on a SPARC. I installed in under
/third/fvwm-2.0.45/
A friend had downloaded the xpm bitmaps, so I copied his and put them into
a directory called fred in the fvwm directory.
I copied the system.fvwm2rc-sample-1 to my home directory and modified
just three lines:
ModulePath /third/fvwm-2.0.45/modules
PixmapPath /third/fvwm-2.0.45/fred/xpm3icons/
IconPath /third/fvwm-2.0.45/fred/xpm3icons/
In my error logfile, I see:
[FVWM][executeModule]: <<ERROR>> Execution of module failed: /third/fvwm-2.0.45/modules/FvwmButtons
Permission denied
[FVWM][executeModule]: <<ERROR>> Execution of module failed: /third/fvwm-2.0.45/modules/FvwmPager
Permission denied
The first error message is, I think, caused by the automatic loading of
the FvwmButtons modules by the following line of the .fvwm2rc:
AddToFunc InitFunction "I" Module FvwmButtons
+ "I" exec xsetroot -mod 2 2 -fg \#554055 -bg \#705070
The second was caused by me using the modules submenu under the utilities
menu to try to bring up the Pager.
I looked through the FAQ (nothing) the man page (nothing) and searched the
mail archives. There, I got a dozen hits, but they were all the same:
> very old parsing bug.
> consistent use of GetNextToken or some such should root this out.
> (it's a string consisting of just a tab or space which is thought to be a

There was another, even older, that talked about the syntax of the menu
definition being wrong, but, since I'm using the sample .fvwm2rc, I don't
think that would be the error.
The permissions on all the files and directories under /third/fvwm-2.0.45
is rwxr-xr-x.
I can't think of anything else to try. Can someone help? I'd really like
to have a Pager.
Thanks,
Scott
