I just built png support into my Solaris version. It worked fine. I installed libpng1.2.5. I'm not root so it was not installed in a standard library. During make I had: export LD_OPTIONS="-L/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/lib" the -R is important so that Fvwm can find the library. If you are still having problems, try to supply more information. -- Dan Espen E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
