I suspect you miss the 75dpi fonts from the X11 distribution. These
must be present, or olvwm *will* die on a segmentation fault. I know
this isn't too smart, but the official version (from mit) for Real
workstations have the same error :-) I havn't, however, been able to
correct it :-(

I used gcc2.1, and linked statically with `libolgx', which is the only
additional library (apart from the Xlib/X11 libraries) that you need.
This library I ported too, and the source for both it, and olvwm are
included in the source distribution `olvwm-src.tar.Z' which is
available from all the major Linux archives.
