In configure.h, you should have:
#define FVWM fvwm2
#define FVWMRC ".fvwm2rc"
#define FVWMDIR "/afs/eos/contrib/wm/lib"
Also, it's not looking for the 'system' at the front of the filename.
Make sure your installed default is just named .fvwm2rc in your FVWMDIR
directory, and all should work as expected.
The Read command should be working as follows: it looks for the file
as specified (current working dir & partial path if specified or full
path if specified), if not found then off the HOME directory (same
name & partial path if specifed), if still not found then out of the
FVWMDIR directory (same name & partial path if specifed).
