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
the rpc calls and then I called it quits! I don't think it requires 200
MB, though.
