Re: fluxbox wont compile

The most likely culprit is the Kernel and/or libraries. It may be
looking for stuff thats been abandoned in favor of newer modules and
libraries. If you really want to get this one going, get an older
kernel at www.kernel.org.

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/

This has just about every linux kernel around.

If you want to get an older kernel my advice is to grab an older one
from www.kernel.org
