Summary: Compile and Install on FC2

Initial Comment:
I'm trying to install the latest blackbox on a box
running Fedora Core 2.

but the make fails (see the attached file)

so.. why is it failing? am i missing some needed packages?

also, who would i add it to the sessions list at the
graphical login screen? assuming of course i can even
get it to work.

I'm running fine on Fedora Core2, I *believe* that I just ran 

$ yum install blackbox

And I get a Blackbox session option from the gdm. If you
want to build by hand, here are some clues about building
from an old post by Sean, don't ask me why blackbox doesn't
ship with a configure script.

<hints from sean>
$ cvs -d
:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/blackboxwm
login
> password: (just hit enter here)
$ cvs -d
:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/blackboxwm
-z3 co
blackbox
<wait for it (-:>
$ cd blackbox
$ cvs update -dP # clear out the cruft, gotta love CVS
$ ./mk.sh
$ ./configure # add options as desired
$ make
$ make install (or just run it from src/)

As for requirements, pretty standard stuff. You want
automake, autoconf,
libtool. Try o get the more recent ones. Xlibs and probably
Xft as well.
No need for fancy CVS versions.
