FVWM: Question about configuring with libXpm

From: <Robert_at_Knighten.org>

I am building fvwm on Linux [version info: Linux version 2.4.8-26mdk
(quintela_at_bi.mandrakesoft.com) (gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Mandrake Linux 8.1
2.96-0.62mdk)) #1 Sun Sep 23 17:06:39 CEST 2001]. I have downloaded the
latest version of Xpm but configure insists a usable version of libXpm cannot
be found. Here is the relevant portion of config.log.

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

. . .

configure:2538: checking for XpmReadFileToXpmImage in -lXpm
configure:2557: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 conftest.c -lXpm /usr/lib/libXpm.so -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lSM -lICE -lX11 1>&5
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so: undefined reference to `_fxstat'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure: failed program was:
#line 2546 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
/* Override any gcc2 internal prototype to avoid an error. */
/* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2
    builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply. */
char XpmReadFileToXpmImage();

int main() {
XpmReadFileToXpmImage()
; return 0; }

. . .

Comments about dealing with this will be appreciated.
