The instructions for doing this properly are in another message.

If the intention is to freely mv it to a location different from the one
configured on the "./configure" step, then the answer is no, this is
unsupported. You will have different things broken, and although it is
possible to fix them one by one, I highly discourage you from doing this.
Please use the proper installation procedure every time you want to
relocate fvwm, you don't really need to disappoint your users by breaking
things. I can think about at least 3 different reasons some modules will
stop to work, ModulePath is just one of them.
It is both faster and easier to repeat the "./configure; make" procedure
than to manually fix all problems the inappropriate "mv" introduces.
