No.  That entire directory is empty.

I initially tried to build the package for version 4, but the build
failed (and I didn't keep the reason).

I then used the binary package for 4, but couldn't get a working
server--it states that my card (Trio 64V+) is unsupported, but that a
generic server might work.

I pulled the package and installed the distribution for version 3.  I
just did that again mid-messge and there's still no libXpm.<anything>

thanks
