The error message indicates it does not come to the png detection, it
fails on the --with-png-library argument parsing, i.e. it is neither
"yes", "no", existing file nor existing directory.
checking for Xpm 3.4g or better... yes
configure: error: argument must be boolean[, file, or directory]
Jesse, if you want fvwm back, recheck this directory and command line,
because I can only reproduce this error when there is no such directory.
Otherwise, if there is such directory configure should not abort, even
if this directory is empty.
There are several other ways to tell the configure about the non standard
library and include directories, like setting LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS before
running configure (run it with --help).
Regards,
Mikhael.
