Re: [FVWM-Themes] Brand New Linux User - Help!

[Ben C. <ben...@gm...>]

Hi Mikhael

Thanks very much for your help. After commenting out the relevant section in
configure I no longer received the error message.  I was also able to
execute make and make install.

However, I do still encounter the following error message when I run
configure:

configure: WARNING:
        Xlib is not found; fvwm-themes-images will not fully work!

Do you have any idea why I'm getting this?

Thanks again,

Ben.
