Is /usr/X11R6/lib in your /etc/ld.so.conf?
Have you run ldconfig since installing Xpm?
Other than that, the approach I usually take with configure is to zero in
on the bit of the script that is doing the check and dumping a load of
'echo' statements in there to find out what it's doing: Often configure
will create a temp .c file and try to compile, link and run it to see if a
library is there: If any of those stages fail, configure thinks the
library is unavailable. Alternatively, If something worked in
Xpm-3.4[ghij] but isn't quite the same in Xpm-3.4k, than you'd get the
same symptom...
