A closed convex subset of $c_0$ has the fixed point property ($\fpp$) if every nonexpansive self mapping of it has a fixed point. All nonempty weak compact convex subsets of $c_0$ are known to have the $\fpp$. We show that closed convex subsets with a nonempty interior and nonempty convex subsets which are compact in a topology slightly coarser than the weak topology may fail to have the $\fpp$.
