I did all this, but when I type ow on the command line
appears the message: /usr/openwin does not exist cannot run
In fact, there is not a /usr/openwin in my system. But I
installed the xview rpm packege from RH 4.2 with success.
The only thing I known is that in the /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
there are the following files:
Xinitrc.ol
olvwm4-bison.patch
olvwm4-truecolor.tar.gz
openwin
openwin-menu-programs
xview-ncurses.patch
xview3.2p1-X11R6-LinuxELF.2.diff.gz
xview3.2p1-X11R6-LinuxElf-noshaded.patch
xview3.2p1-X11R6.tar.gz
But I do not know how I can run the Open Look
window manager. Can someone, please, tell me
any suggestion ???
Thanks!!!
