That looks as if the SIGSEGV happens before fvwm is even started. Please throw away the whole source tree, compile and install from scratch and delete the core file. If the problem persists, run fvwm from gdb: $ gdb /usr/local/bin/fvwm (gdb) break main (gdb) run If is doesn't reach the breakpoint, something must have gone very wrong at compilation time. If it does run into the breakpoint, please single step throgh the code to find out where it crashes.
