Thanks for the advice, Teemu. Installing the X-devel. package fix the
problem.

One more question:

Why can't FVWM find the installed xpm libraries and headers during
./configure?

----------
I used the following command:

./configure --with-cxx=gcc --with-xpm-library=/usr/X11R6/lib
--with-xpm-includes=/usr/X11R6/include

-----------
My xpm files are located in:

/usr/X11R6/bin/sxpm
/usr/X11R6/include/X11/xpm.h
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.a
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4.8

----------
I get the following configuration info:

...
...
creating extras/FvwmWharf/Makefile
creating config.h
config.h is unchanged
Configuration:

  FVWM Version: 2.1.10

  Build extra modules? no
  Have ReadLine support? no
  Have RPlay support? no
  Have XPM support? no: Xpm library or header not found!

---------

Thanks again. I tried to guess the correct .configure command from
reading the INSTALL.FVWM file but no luck.
