You could maybe edit the Makefile to change "lib" to "lib64"? I didn't
try this with WindowMaker, but it's worked fine with several other
apps. I'm using SuSE 9.3 on AMD64.

I didn't actually make much effort to get 0.92 to compile on my
machine, I just stuck with the SuSE version of 0.91. But the recently
updated CVS snapshot has compiled and run perfectly for me straight
out of the box.

HTH,

Will.
