Hi,

I4ve posted a question about this on Saturday. You can search the wmaker 0.19
thread.

First, I recommend you to download the Debian version of wmaker 0.19.1 (it is
in unstable section (slink) in a Debian mirror site). Better than compiling
things yourself and no fear of putting things in the wrong place.

After that you4ll still have the _Xsetlocale problem. To solve it I was asked
to try two things:

   1) As root run ldconfig.

   2) Upgrade to xlib6g 3.3.2.3-1 (it4s in hamm).

The first thing did not solve my problem (as the maintainer expected),  but
the upgrade of xlib6g made it run smoothly.

Good Luck.

Paulo.
