The file xpm.h should be in a directory somewhere/X11 and not just somewhere.
It (XPM) was written as an X application. Note the libXpm.a nameing
convention. #include <X11/xpm.h> is what should be used.

Your xpm installation is incorrect. You can as a work around do this;
cd somewhere; ln -s . X11
or even better;
mkdir somewhere/X11; mv somewhere/xpm.h somewhere/X11

The other problem you mentioned will be fixed however.
