This doesn't help. It still complains that the libPropList is not
installed. I've deinstalled it and reinstalled it since, also. There is
something weird going on!
And the old aout version of windowmaker claims that it should have a
libXpm..so.4.11 which is not on the newly installed system, but
libXpm.so.4, so I just made a symlink from .4 -version to .4.11 but then
windowmaker tells me it has a 'bad magic number in libXpm.so.4.11'
And to anyone wondering xpm 3.4 (I guess it is) is installed, since the
port does that in a very early stage of the windowmaker installation.
So fact is: the port for windowmaker 0.51 doesn't work at all on my
system, and further more fvwm2 wants that now infamous libXpm.so.4.11
also, so I have to stick to nice looking twm :-(
