memoir
defined the command\footruleskip

fancyhdr
does the same(something done since May 7, 1996 with version 1.99 of
fancyhdr
- a change from a former length\footruleskip
to the current control sequence). The good thing is that they're both the same. So, undefining it before loadingfancyhdr
works:Here
\undefined
is an undefined control sequence that might just as well have been\bleepbloopblah
(...as long as that is undefined as well!). See, for example How to undo a \def (i.e., Need a \undef capability) and undefining custom commands.Although this is your choice,

instead ofmemoir
header/footer functionality. Read up on whatmemoir
is capable of in chapter 7 Pagination and headers (p 117) of thememoir
documentation. In fact, the documentation mentions (in section 7.2 Page styles, p 118):
