Changing the configure file to include the path in the (ac_default_prefix)
worked and was able to proceed with the installation. However, the etc
directory where the fvwm2rc config file resides did not get created.
Your input is appreciated.

Don't change the configure file, when you run configure, add
"--prefix=/home/fjalilva/fvm-2.2.4/fvwm".
