You didn't say that you didn't define your own prefix and configure says:

  Executables: /usr/local/bin

You also didn't convince us you did "make install" after that.
Or maybe you did, but it failed without write permissions to /usr/local.

The only sure thing is the /usr/local/bin/fvwm executable on your system
is not that you built with the "XPM support? yes" output above.
