I had a user a/c just to try all wm. I had added /usr/local/lib into
ld.so.conf and /sbin/ldconfig. The user a/c was able to run wm 0.53 but I
did not specify the directory properly when I make install and everything
landed up in /usr/local/bin instead of /usr/X11R6/bin etc. so to avoid the
hassle of resetting the path in wmakerconf, I decided to use a rpm of the
.50 version for redhat. I rpm under root (no access by user). Guess what?
RPM manager tells me it can't find libwraster.so.1. the damn library has
already been linked (ldconfig & in ld.so.conf) and sitting pretty in
/usr/local/lib and what's more, rpm tells me it can find the libs for wmaker
.50. BUT when I su to my user a/c I run wmaker 0.53 fine. Well at least it
started but all the paths were wrong. Major headache.

My objective:  get wmaker up (hopefully latest 0.53 version but can't seem
to find the redhat rpm for 0.53) with all the paths correct. C.f. the 0.20
wmaker I had originally when there was no need to install libProplist. (I
had uninstalled .20 already

Anyhelp?

Topic 2: if I were to download rh6.0 (everything) into my vfat32 harddisk,
how should I install into my current ext2 partitions. I am using adsl to
grap the files. Presumably I would need to autoboot (from dosutils) into
linux and start the installation. I am aware that I need a sup disk too. May
I know the specific steps so that I won't blow away my windoze (I still need
the adsl). Clarification both win and linux are on the same machine. Win on
a 6.4g hda and linux on 6.4g hdb1,5,6.

Wud appreciate all help tremendously.
