 Any help how to get my emacs and fvwm2 to work.

Please check the output of ldd 'which emacs` and ldd `which fvwm2`.
If there are both libc.so.5 and libc.so.6 shown, you need to update
some of the other libraries.  If the executables are basically linked
to libc.so.5, you need some libs from the oldlibs directory.

You probably need the install the xlib6 and the xpm4.7 packages from
oldlibs.

Actually, due to the way ldd works, it's information isn't 100% reliable.
I recommend using objdump --all-headers on the problematic binaries.
If there's an RPATH entry, you need to upgrade your binaries.
The NEEDED part will show whether it is a libc5 or libc6 binary.

I used to have problems with libc5 binaries after upgrading some packages from
bo to hamm - I solved it by installing virtually any package in the oldlibs
section of hamm. As Ray pointed out to me, I have found that the latest version
of each is necessary. (Xlib6, libforms0.86,libc5 (runtime), ...)
