It's been mentioned a few times, but you must compile FVWM against fribidi
0.19.2.
An oversight that this is not checked at configure time?
Slackware 13.37 installs fribidi-0.10.9.
Or disable it at configure time if you don't need it.
I did subsequently try configure --with-gnome=no and got the same
compilation error.
You would do when you're looking to disable fribidi, and not GNOME. See the
option again. What made you think this had anything to do with GNOME?
I have absolutely no idea what FBidi.c does or what fribidi does,
gnome or otherwise. But I ran configure --help and noted the
--with-gnome option. Since I don't use gnome, I decided to try turning
the option off, on the off-chance that it might improve things. It
certainly couldn't hurt, since I was giving configure a more accurate
picture of the build environment.
I disabled configuring with fribidi, no thanks to configure --help,
which makes no mention of --enable-bidi (I looked at the configure
file itself) and was able to get it built. Thanks for getting me
pointed in the right direction.

Hallo Don,
I've once built fvwm-2.6 on Slackware (when 13.37 was new) and ran into
the same issue. I remember that I simple upgraded fribidi to the
necessary version. You can use the Slackbuildscript from the official
Slackware-sources.
Slackware comes with a relatively old version of fribidi because in
Pat's opinion the newer versions are not stable enough (well, in fact he
ran into issues with other packages depending on fribidi). But I had no
difficulties using the newer version of fribidi on my system.
