Thanks for your advice Jose.

I installed xforms-devel-0.88-2 from an i386.rpm. This placed forms.h at

/usr/X11R6/include/forms.h

I had to create a link from this to

/usr/X11R6/include/X11/forms.h

./configure has stopped complaining about forms.h. However the other
messages, that libXpm and libforms or libxforms are not installed still
occur, even though these are present at

/usr/X11R6/include/X11/xpm.h
/usr/i386-slackware-linux-gnulibc1/lib/libXpm.so.4 -> libXpm.so.4.11
/usr/i386-slackware-linux-gnulibc1/lib/libXpm.so.4.11
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4.11

and

/usr/lib/libform.a
/usr/lib/libform.so -> libform.so.5
/usr/lib/libform.so.5 -> libform.so.5.0
/usr/lib/libform.so.5.0
/usr/lib/libform_g.a
/usr/lib/libform_p.a
/usr/X11R6/lib/libforms.so.0.88

Also I noted that ./configure does detect xpm.h.

Looking through the configure script it is not apparent to me where it
is checking for these libraries. Meanwhile I will try the extra
libraries options.

Thanks in advance for any further advice.
