        Sorry this took so long. Here are a few notes:

        (1) I used xpm version 3.4g, it makes things much nicer.
        (2) I have v3.2 of OSF (flat), and installed version 1.24r
        of fvwm.
        (3) configure.h is the file which matters. Here are the changes I
        made to the configure.h . I am NOT trying to say this is definitive
        in any way, because I do things my own quirky way.

/* The following lines were changed to leave the default directory trees intact,
I don't like to put add-ons there as they disappear after upgrades */
#define FVWMDIR "/usr/local/lib/X11/fvwm"
#define FVWM_ICONDIR "/usr/local/include/X11/bitmaps:/usr/local/include/X11/pixmaps"
#define FVWMRC "/usr/local/lib/X11/fvwm/system.fvwmrc"
#define FVWM_BIN_DIR BINDIR=/usr/local/bin/X11
/* Althuogh some people suggested gcc, I had trouble with gnu ar during the build. This worked : */
#define COMPILER CC=c
/* I used Xpm, but at least one message indicated that Xpm broke at DU 3.2c. I
have personal knowledge that somebody is using Xpm under 3.2d, however. */
#define XPM
#define XPMLIBRARY -L/usr/local/lib -lXpm /* See note above about directorys */
/* I COMMENTED OUT THE ALPHA_HEADER SECTION! It is a little bizarre that the
only concession to alpha users is wrong.
#ifdef __alpha
#define NEEDS_ALPHA_HEADER
#undef BROKEN_SUN_HEADERS
#endif (__alpha) */

        My thanks go out to Mike Iglesias, Arrigo Triulzi and Wu Wei who
        provided the various pieces to the puzzle.
