This is exactly the problem. ModulePath should be (for the basic
installation) a path to a directory in which all of the fvwm modules have
been installed.
I'd suggest that you do the following to save yourself some headaches. It
appears that you built this in your home directory. I'd suggest that you
re-compile, this time using the -prefix option to the configure step.
It's explained in the README or INSTALLATION notes; I can't remember
which. Don't forget to remove the previous configure log. Then do a make
all and make install. This will build all of the modules in their
respective directories, which is what you are listing below, and the make
install will move the executeables to the directory that you specify with
the -prefix compile option.
If I remember right if you set prefix to your home directory then
configure will create the directory ~/libexex/fvwm/2.2.4/ and put the
modules there. Set ModulePath to that directory and you're set.
