- RedHat Linux
Make sure you don't have the LANG and LINGUAS environment variables
set to en_RN. Also, make sure you have /usr/local/bin in your
PATH environment variable, as for some mysterious reason the folks
at RedHat did not include it in the default configuration files
in RH 5.{0,1}.
Check the TROUBLESHOOTING section if you have problems with libtool.
Before trying to install, uninstall libtool-1.2b and install
libtool-1.2, which you can get from ftp.gnu.org or it's mirrors.
- GNU/Linux in general
Make sure you have /usr/local/lib in /etc/ld.so.conf and that you
run ldconfig after installing.
- RedHat GNU/Linux
RedHat systems have several annoying problems. If you use it,
be sure to follow the steps below or Window Maker will not work:
* make sure you don't have the LANG and LINGUAS environment variables
set to en_RN;
* make sure you have /usr/local/bin in your PATH environment
variable, as for some mysterious reason the folks at RedHat did not
include it in the default configuration files in RH 5.x;
* make sure you have /usr/local/lib in /etc/ld.so.conf before running
ldconfig;
* if you have problems that mention an error message with --no-reexec
uninstall libtool-1.2b and install libtool-1.2 instead. libtool-1.2
can be found in ftp.gnu.org Also read the TROUBLESHOOTING section;
* if you installed the Window Maker package from RedHat and are
installing a new version of it by hand (compiling yourself), uninstall
the package from RedHat before.
* make a symbolic link from /usr/X11 to /usr/X11R6
(type ln -s /usr/X11R6 /usr/X11 ) and make sure you have a symbolic
link from /usr/include/X11 to /usr/X11R6/include/X11 (if not,
type ln -s /usr/X11R6/include/X11 /usr/include/X11 )
