I have installed the Open Look Window Manager olvwm. The thing is that I am unable to do things like PROPERTIES and SAVE_WORKSPACE 'cos the system tells me that I don't have the programs props and owplaces, where I can find these programs for FreeBSD? I have installed the XFree86 taking the binaries from ftp.fi.FreeBSD.org /pub/OS/4.3bsd/FreeBSD/XFree86 and uncompressing it and making everything like linking to X the SVGA server etc., I did the same way the documentation told me to extract and install the binaries, I mean I followed all the instructions I found on the documentation file. Then after installing the X server I installed the olvwm window manager getting it from packages distribution (ftp.fi.freebsd.org/pub/OS/4.3bsd.FreeBSD/ 2.1.6-RELEASE/packages) and I used the menue program /stand/sysinstall/ , and the installation has gone fine. OF course I installed all the xview libraries and clients, the packages xview-clients-3.2.1.tgz xview-config-3.2.1.tgz xview-lib-3.2.1.tgz THe only thing is that I can't configure to save the workspace or look at the properties 'cos seems like that in the binary distribution there aren't these 2 programs props and owplaces, so what I have to do? where I can find them? I would like to make the 2 things (props, owplaces) work on my olvwm. In the man pages I found out also informations about the script openwin, but I have not find it after installation so I did it myself as well as I didn't find iconedit even if there is a reference to it in the xview man page. Seems like the binary distribution is incomplete. now an other question. OFTEN when I run a X client I have this message: ld.so: warning: /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.0: minor version 0 older than expected 1, using it anyway. how come this happen?? I have the new release binaries 1.2.6-RELEASE and libs too I found in the same distribution, so why I have this warning message? well there is a thing to say. The XFree86 binaries I found were common to 2.1.* distributions and not specific for 2.1.6 release, might this one to be the reason of the warning message ?? Anyway I think FreeBsd to be better than Linux, I like more FreeBSD. A last question... I have applications such as xsysinfo xsysstats , but if I run the xman I can't find them there also with search option, while they are in normal man pages from vt100 terminal, how come? How come I Can't find the manual pages with the xman program? I hope you can help me. thanks a lot!! Riccardo from Italy.
