I had the same problem trying to get the 2.4.15 and 2.4.14 on RHL 8.0.
Apparently seems there is a problem with the Modules installed with the
above releases; I made both versions working installing the rpm
packages (and not the source codes) and giving in the .fvwm2rc config
file the right path of the modules which is

ModulePath /usr/local/libexec/fvwm/2.4.14/
PixmapPath /usr/share/icons/mini/
IconPath /usr/share/icons

or

ModulePath /usr/libexec/fvwm/2.4.14/
PixmapPath /usr/share/icons/mini/
IconPath /usr/share/icons

(the first path works with my desktop while the second
one with the laptop: I have no idea why the same version of fvwm
installs the Modules in different directories ???)

I can't change the background color yet (which is black!) !!!!
Does someone know how to do it ???


Cheers :-)
