- You either A) didn't use the olvwm source located at tsx-11, or B) didn't
- install gcc2.2.2 properly. I spent a lot of time trying to compile olvwm
- from the sources I got at export.lcs.mit.edu, before I decided their had
- to be an easier way. The source code at tsx-11 compiles with very little
- modification.

- THAT is a job and a half! I got as far as the error messages for
