Proceed by telling on what platform you're compiling fvwm and what you've
done before you typed "make" in the dir /bla/fvwm-2.0.43/ (hope you typed
it there and not in the fvwm/ dir, first you need to build the things in
lib/). _Normally_ fvwm2 compiles straight Out Of The Box.

Depending on what version of fvwm (1 or 2) you're running either type in
an xterm "fvwm -version" of "fvwm2 -version".
