I get a _cfree undefined symbol error after I hit a key (not a good thing ;). olwm works great, and for that I'm much grateful, I just wish some of the other OL stuff worked ;).

After : about 30 seconds it would die and the console message was something to do : with an unresolved call to cfree. A little investigation with nm showed that : cfree was not defined in any of the files in /usr/lib; it's declared as an : extern somewhere in the olvwm source. : Any ideas, anyone? : James : -- : Segmentation fault (core dumped): cannot find file '.signature' -- Robert Watson rwatson@sidwell.edu http://www.sidwell.edu/~rwatson/ The goal of science is to build better mousetraps.
