compiling libxpm for fluxbox slits


hey, i don't have too much experience compiling programs and whatnot and i'm having some problems with getting dockapps to work. trying to install a coupel dockapps it seems as if i need a library called libxpm. so i installed the libxpm stuff that came on the mandrake iso's, but that doesn't seem to cut it. so i went and tried to download libxpm to compile but i get all sorts of errors like:

installing in ./lib...
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/akropp/Documents/programs_rpms/xpm-3.4g/lib'

the readme said to do "xmkmf" then "make Makefiles" then "make includes" then "make depend". i did those and i dind't see any blatant errors (i.e. "ERROR"). but when i did the make install and make install.man i got those errors.

can anyone maybe help me get this set up? i'd really appreciate it

and i guess i'm sort of confused because wmxmms works. i am assuming that its using the same libxpm libraries that other dockapps use? am i wrong?

Make sure you have your permissions set correctly too - if you're getting a `permission denied` error you prolly dont have access to write in those locations.
