I have tried compiling it under FC2 and it didn't work straight out of the
package.

this is what I got:
freund@strider ctwm]$ xmkmf
mv -f Makefile Makefile.bak
imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config
<stdin>:1:19: stdio.h: No such file or directory
<stdin>:2:19: ctype.h: No such file or directory
<stdin>: In function `main':
<stdin>:18: error: `NULL' undeclared (first use in this function)
<stdin>:18: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
<stdin>:18: error: for each function it appears in.)
/usr/X11R6/bin/xmkmf: line 70: 8081 Aborted imake
$imake_defines $args
[freund@strider ctwm]$

didn't have time to debug
