You'll need to create a ~/.xinitrc,  with execute bit set.  Try 
------------------
#!/bin/sh
exec fvwm
------------------

for starters,  and hit "man xinit" and "man startx"

The path is the place the shell searches for programs you try to run.
Assuming you're using the bash shell (it's the default),  it can be
changed in your .bashrc file.

echo $PATH
