You will most likely want Xpm support.  Check whether the xpm
library and header files are installed properly.

You need to have /usr/local/bin in your PATH environment variable.
Check your shell setup if it isn't there.

  $ echo $PATH

If it isn't add something like

  PATH=/usr/locl/bin:"$PATH"

to your shell config file.

Just create a file .xinitrc in your home directory and make it
executable.  It should look roughly like this:

--------------------------- ~/.xinitrc ---------------------------
#!/bin/sh

userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysresources=/etc/Xresources
sysmodmap=/etc/Xmodmap

# merge in defaults and keymaps
if [ -f $sysresources ]; then
    xrdb -merge $sysresources
fi
if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
    xmodmap $sysmodmap
fi
if [ -f $userresources ]; then
    xrdb -merge $userresources
fi
if [ -f $usermodmap ]; then
    xmodmap $usermodmap
fi

# start applications and window manager
xterm &
fvwm
------------------------------ snip ------------------------------

Note that the X server exits when the last command returns.  For
this reason, the last command must not be started in the
background.
