Download the latest rpm headers from where?
Anyway, apt-get can't help you, because RedHat does not provide libstroke
package, it does not provide fvwm package either. But you still may
install both if you go to fvwm.org and run "rpm -U libstroke-* fvwm-*".

I mean, if you go to fvwm.org, then to "download", then to "rpm packages"
you get to this page:
http://fvwm-themes.sourceforge.net/rpm/
There you may find both fvwm-2.4.17-1.i386.rpm and instructions about
installing it (read the last paragraph and visit both links in it).
There is libstroke rpm there that should work fine for you. Or you may
go to fr2.rpmfind.net (don't use rpmfind.net, it is horribly outdated
for some packages) and find other libstroke rpms, that may work well too.

Mikhael.
