1) download this file (yes, it's for a different Linux distribution, but it will work) and save it as ``/tmp/fvwm-crystal.apps.patch``:: http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/gentoo-x86/x11-themes/fvwm-crystal/files/fvwm-crystal.apps.patch?rev=1.1 2) get a command prompt ("terminal") 3) find where the ``fvwm-crystal.apps`` program is in your system. It's probably at ``/usr/bin/fvwm-crystal.apps``; if executing:: ls -l /usr/bin/fvwm-crystal.apps gives no errors and lists a file, you're set; otherwise write:: locate fvwm-crystal.apps it should print very few lines; there should only be one line containing ``/bin/`` and ending with ``fvwm-crystal.apps``; that line tells you where the file is. 4) now that you know where the file is, write:: cd $where_the_file_is sudo patch -p1 < /tmp/fvwm-crystal.apps.patch replacing ``$where_the_file_is`` with the directory where the ``fvwm-crystal.apps`` file is (``/usr/bin/`` in the simple case above); you'll be asked for your password, and then the file will be modified to no longer throw the error. -- Dakkar - <Mobilis in mobile> GPG public key fingerprint = A071 E618 DD2C 5901 9574 6FE2 40EA 9883 7519 3F88 key id = 0x75193F88 It's more than magnificent -- it's mediocre. -- Sam Goldwyn
