First of all: these are *not* error messages. This is simply a
summary of the features that will be compiled into fvwm and the
reasons why some will not. You should still be able to compile
fvwm.

Some older versions of libstroke did not install themselves
properly. There should be a file stroke.h in /usr/include or
/usr/local/include ore some other include directory. If not, you
have to copy it there manually. You can skip this if you do not
need stroke support.
> Have XPM support? no: Can't find required libXpm
For some reason, configure could not find out where the xpm
library was installed. There should be some hint what went wrong
in the config.log file. If you can't figure it out with that
information, post the config.log file to the mailing list and
we'll try to help you.

Probably the library is not installed. Most people do not need
this anyway.

You need this only if you plan to use the FvwmGtk module.

This feature has to be enabled explicitly with
$ ./configure --enable-multibyte

Since I have a SuSE system, the following information may not be
100% accurate for RedHat:
The decision between graphical/text mode boot is made in the file
/etc/inittab. You should find an entries similar to this one in
there:
# default runlevel
id:5:initdefault:
# runlevel 2 is Local multiuser without remote network (e.g. NFS)
# runlevel 3 is Full multiuser with network
# runlevel 5 is Full multiuser with network and xdm
The initdefault level of 5 specified that the system uses
graphical boot. Change this to 3 and the system starts with a
text console:
id:3:initdefault:
It should be possible to do this somewhere in RedHat's config
tool too.
