There's something really fundamentally wrong here. It looks like your
configure step never worked.

"No suffix list."? Looks like the makefiles are corrupted (or, you're
using a bogus version of make, maybe).

  pp> gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I../../libs
  pp> -DFVWM_MODULEDIR=\"/home/gsm/u08/pushpak/fvwm/fvwm-2.2.2/libexec/fvwm/2.2.2\" -DFVWM_CONFIGDIR=\"/home/gsm/u08/pushpak/fvwm/fvwm-2.2.2/etc\" -DFVWM_CPP='"/lib/cpp"' -O2 -c FvwmCpp.c

  pp> the SysUtil.h file was

If you don't have X installed in the normal place (that is, if
/usr/include/X11 doesn't contain the Xmu/SysUtil.h file somehow, either
directly or by symbolic link) you'll have to use --with-x-includes,
etc. on the configure line to tell it where to find X.

In short, we can't help further until you provide more details:

  * What version of FVWM are you trying to compile?

  * What operating system and version are you building on?

  * What "configure" command line did you use?

  * Did you get any errors during the configure step?

  * What were the results printed at the end of configure?

Etc.
