As someone who is not familiar with the innerworkings of Xwindows, I'm
trying to understand what all these things have to do with Fvwm, I'll
include the full path on my machine for stuff so as not to confuse anyone:

1). /usr/local/X11/include/X11/xpm.h
2). /usr/local/X11/lib/libXpm.so.4.11
3). /usr/include/X11/bitmaps

Additionally, here is how I tried to compile it, and this is the output it
gave me. It choked when it looked for a C++ compiler, so that is why I opted
to remove the search for it. The other stuff is just futile attempts to try
to get it to look for the libs/xpms (I don't know what I'm talking about:>).
  I've included all the output of the config in an attempt to give you the
most information possible. I thought libXpm.so.4.11/xpm.h would be all I
needed, but apparently I'm doing something wrong. Also, would the
ModulePath be the directory that contains FvwmPager/, FvwmBanner/,
FvwmAnimate/ etc.?

Lastly, IconPath and PixmapPath are needed in the .fvwm2rc file, I don't
have a clue where to find these, any documentation on these fundamental
concepts would be greatly appreciated. After having used fvwm2 at another
company for 5 mos. I think it's worth this week of frustration. Thanks!
