Ok, Got a little luck here, sort of.

 Compiled with no problem or errors. When I tried to run it i got.

# ./conftest
ld.so.1: ./conftest: fatal: libXpm.so.4.11: can't open file: errno=2
Killed

Check the obvious permission errors. All fine. check the file type.

libXpm.so.4.11: ELF 32-bit MSB dynamic lib SPARC Version 1, dynamically
linked, not stripped

Looks ok.

For S**ts and giggles I checked the 3.4g that I had been using. Noticed
that it didnt have the shared versions, only the straight ar archive. So I
got rid of the shared libraries and only left the unshared libXpm.a in
place.

 Recompiled, reran conftest. Works. Tried configure again. Works.

So, for some reason, something doesnt like the shared libraries. But That
doesnt bother me, as I would rather used the unshared, so I dont have to
worry about distributing a shared library as I install fvwm around here.

Thats what I get for using pre-compilied binaries of the libraries instead
of compiling them myself.
