More simply put, FVWM seems to embed its install location into itself which is making 
it hard for me to do the following. If I was able to do the following, my requirements 
would basically be satisfied:

tar xzf fvwm-2.5.10.tar.gz
cd fvwm-2.5.10
./configure --prefix=/opt/fvwm (or whatever options necessary)
make
make install
mv /opt/fvwm /newfolder/othernewfolder/fvwm


And then I would like to be able to run fvwm by doing
/newfolder/othernewfolder/fvwm/bin/fvwm



Probably a silly question, but can you not just do the move and make a symbolic link from the compiled build location?


./configure --prefix=/opt/fvwm && make && make install
mv /opt/fvwm /newfolder/fvwm
ln -s /newfolder/fvwm /opt/fvwm
/opt/fvwm/bin/fvwm

Fred.
