I agree but I must have done something wrong because when I try to
launch netscape I get the following error:
/usr/lib/netscape/netscape-communicator: error in loading shared libraries
libXpm.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The same happens to me when I try to recompile fvwm2 with xpm support
since fvwm2's configure script does not find the files from my fresh
xpm installation.
Do I have to recompile my whole system to get things to work now?

On one hand I agree since after all I haven't had much luck with
xpm-3.4k.tar.gz (although I the problem I am experiencing seems
a bit of a puzzle). On the other hand an rpm might have dependencies
such as a newer glibc (I am still running glibc 2.0).
Why aren't applications able find my shared library files?
After all they are installed in a very standard location.
Do I need some extra symlinks?
Thanks,
Neil
