Paul, I think the problem is that xpm was not installed properly. The directory structure that Curt pointed out earlier suggests that libxpm was not built - only untarred in to that location. libxpm has a rather strange build and install process as documented here: http://koala.ilog.fr/lehors/xpm-README.html Alternatively, you may be able to find a dev package for X11 that will include a libxpm library made for your system. The problem is that libxpm will not run out of the box. There is a build process that must be followed to build the library for your system architecture.
