For some reason it looks like the cygwin team decided to place many dll files including libXpm.dll under /usr/X11R6/bin or cygpath -w /usr/X11R6/bin to be precise. Perhaps this decision was made because the windows Path variable is used to point to both dll files and executables. I resolved the problem by doing the following before running the configure script: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin IMHO either fvwm2's configure should look in that place for the file or cygwin should come with a preconfigured PATH variable including thedirectory /usr/X11R6/bin as xpm is part of the cygwin package. No other errors were encountered when installing fvwm2! Thanks! Neil -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Check out: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
