It reads as though you're installing the version of FVWM from RHEL4 on your new and shiny and no doubt wonderful RHEL5. If that's the case, then it won't work as most distros deprecated libreadline4 a long time ago -- indeed, FVWM here at upstream looks for libreadline5. FVWM 2.4.20 is the version of FVWM you'd want, and even then I'd still suggest FVWM 2.5.28 -- "unstable" is quite stable in this regard. ISTR that the SPEC files which we distribute as part of FVWM (which would have been updated as part of FVWM 2.5.X) were updated "recently" -- i.e., within the last year. Perhaps you'd have better luck trying to compile FVWM yourself? -- Thomas Adam
