Hi

I downloaded WindowMaker-0.80.2.tar.gz
untared it, then
./configure
make
and finally 
checkinstall (this creates an rpm from my build and installs it, that
way I don't loose my rpm database, if you want to know more from
checkinstall check http://asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/)

Any how, everything went ok, then I go to my console, type 
echo exec wmaker > .xinitrc
and then
startx, and this is what I get

[kwame at padawan kwame]$ startx

BUT I do have libwraster.so.2

[kwame at padawan kwame]$ locate libwraster.so.2
/home/kwame/software/WindowMaker-0.80.2/wrlib/.libs/libwraster.so.2.2.0
/home/kwame/software/WindowMaker-0.80.2/wrlib/.libs/libwraster.so.2
/usr/local/lib/libwraster.so.2.2.0
/usr/local/lib/libwraster.so.2
[kwame at padawan kwame]$

Any help? I really like gnome 2.4 but I also love WindowMaker

Best wishes
