That usually means that the library referred to hasn't been loaded into
ld.so's cache by ldconfig.  This may be because you've added it but
not run ldconfig to update ld.so, or because you don't have libXpm
installed.

I guess you could try installing libXpm.   It's on the disk.  Either
reboot afterwards, or look in /etc/rc for an example of how to run
ldconfig to pick up the new library.
