I think I've seen that error before ... I was the one who requested the
option to disable NLS, which I couldn't get to work without also disabling
the Remember patch. I assumed the Remember patch might work if NLS was
enabled, but it doesn't look like the Remember patch worked here either,
even though NLS was enabled and worked. Bottom line: try disabling the
Remember patch.

Here is my compile log.  I used the -d debug flag but it doesn't seem to
store debug info in compile log...

Mine fails to compile too, but it looks like I have a different error...

I answered yes to all questions except xinerama

johnlowell:  What options did you say yes or no to when you lin'ed fluxbox?

r0dzilla - that's the NLS error I encountered when I first tried to install
fluxbox. Disable NLS(+remember) and fluxbox compiles. I couldn't get the
remember patch to work either, and I think I got johnlowell's compile
error, so I thought the two might be related. I guess they aren't.
CONFIGURE can be easily changed if this is true.

saying N to NLS (which also disables remember) results in a successfull
compile.

Tried saying Y to NLS, but no to remember and still got the same error. 
Looks like maybe the problem is with NLS?

I'm going to modify CONFIGURE on my machine to allow saying N to NLS and Y
to remember and see what happens...

Sorry I've taken so long to get back to you r0dzilla. You ask what options
I selected for the module fluxbox. To the best of my recollection, I
selected the default options throughout. I hope this information is
helpful.

I found this site dedicated to the remember patch:

http://bugfactory.org/~gav/fluxbox/

Seems they are suggesting forgetting about the remember patch and
reccommend using fluxbox 0.9.2, which includes a completely re-written
remember patch.

Should we move to 0.9.2?

I noticed there was a module called fluxbox-dev that had version 0.9.0. 
If we don't want to move a beta version of fluxbox over to the main
module, we could update fluxbox-dev to 0.9.2 and disable nls/remember on
0.1.14

I tried saying n today to NLS and got nowhere. Just to let you know.
