I ran this as root

installpkg icewm.tgz

After it installed I ran startx and it brought up another terminal and then i typed icewm to invoke the windows manager. This is the error that i got

bash-3.00# icewm
icewm: error while loading shared libraries: lib[m]ib.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
bash-3.00#

this is in zipslack 10.1

Try running from the console (not in X) the command:

exec icewm

Do you use a .xinitrc file?

I don't know anything about zipslack, so I hope this helps...

I tried to use exec icewm, and I got the same error. Does any one know where i could find this lib[m]ib.so.1.

This zipslack, is it installed to the hard drive.
And for a WM, you shouldn't need the exec.
In the .xinitrc file you only need

icewm
