Try this:
ldconfig -elf -r | grep libXpm
You _should_ see something like this:
107:-lXpm.4 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4
If you don't, try this:
ldconfig -elf -m
to rebuild the ld hints file. Of course, the lib file needs to be some-
where that ldconfig can find it (you can set this in /etc/ld-elf.so.conf).
HTH,
Dan
