To Mikhael & Dominik:

Ok, if you were a girl, and you were here, I would give you a kiss *s* -
make is working, thanks!

"rm config.cache" did the trick (after ldconfig).

Also I made libstroke work too - SM also works because of the above and
XFree dev..

So, I want to test before removing the old fvwm2. Iv'e tried to startup
in consol mode and use "startx path/fvwm2" but it just starts up the old
fvwm2, maybe because it uses the old system.fvwm2rc (redhat). By the way
initd:3 is working (i forgot about Crtl+Alt+backspace).

Also, I would like to make configure find the GTK. As said, I have Gtk+
on the machine. Maybe I should install Gtk? (looked at their homepage,
but couldn't find it, there's only Gtk+).

Ok, thanks. Im finally close to the installation!
