I agree with Dan that this is kind of bogus; however, it should work.

I've seen people put symlinks like X11 -> . in their include/X11
directories, so they don't have to worry about this. Then you can use
include/X11/X11/X11/X11/X11/xpm.h and it'll still work.

Not that I'm recommending that in any way, mind you :). Symlink loops
are all kinds of hassle. It's easier to just get the flags right.

You could just move the xpm.h file, you don't need to reinstall or
anything. There's no magic about the placement of this header.

But, I don't _think_ that's your problem based on your description.
