I understand that you got an error line "You need at least fvwm-2.5.8".
But there is also the second error line (there are 2 cases) that
should explain what is your problem. Post this second error line
if you can't figure what to do.

This is not the correct way to fix the problem. I think you simply have
several fvwm installations and the first fvwm-config in your $PATH is not
from 2.5.10. In this case either uninstall the older version, or follow
the advice from the error message, i.e. supply --with-fvwm-bindir option.
