        I built fvwm2 on a sparc solaris machine. The X11R6 libraries, *not*
/usr/openwin/lib are being used at run time. The 'xmkmf' from the X11R6 tree
was used.
        Everything compiled just fine using gcc.
        When I try to start up fvwm2:

fvwm2 -d host
      -d host:0
      -d :0
      -d unix:0
      -d :0.0
      
        it always immediately exits with '<<error>> cant open display

> ldd /sw1/bin/fvwm2
        libXpm.so.4.4 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4.4
        libXext.so.6.0 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6.0
        libX11kb.so.6.0 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11kb.so.6.0
        libsocket.so.1 => /usr/lib/libsocket.so.1
        libnsl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1
        libc.so.1 => /usr/lib/libc.so.1
        libdl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.1
        libintl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libintl.so.1
        libmp.so.1 => /usr/lib/libmp.so.1
        libw.so.1 => /usr/lib/libw.so.1

        The display arguments have always been valid in other situations. I
cant imagine what is happening here. I was very surprised.
thanks in advance for any help
