I have just upgraded(?) from Fedora Core 5 to Fedora
Core 6, and since I like fvwm a lot and have an excellent
config file for fvwm, I tried building fvwm-2.5.18. but it
fails in the final steps.
./configure works cleanly with no options.
make bombs with this error message:
gcc -DFVWM_MODULEDIR=\"/usr/local/libexec/fvwm/2.5.16\"
-DFVWM_DATADIR=\"/usr/local/share/fvwm\"

make[2]: *** [fvwm] Error 1

libXext is installed: locate libXext yields:

/usr/lib/libXext.so.6.4.0
/usr/lib64/libXext.so.6
/usr/lib64/libXext.so.6.4.0
Any suggestions for how to make this work?
Here are some relevant lines from config.log:
hostname = localhost.localdomain
uname -m = x86_64
uname -r = 2.6.18-1.2849.fc6
uname -s = Linux
uname -v = #1 SMP Fri Nov 10 12:34:46 EST 2006
I am running this on a machine with an
AMD Athlon 64x2 3800+ CPU
fvwm-2.5.16 built fine for FC5 but does not on FC6.
Any help would be much welcomed!
