So after installing, your Xpm lib still isn't usable for linking...
Seems strange. What's the output of 'make install' when you install
Xpm? You should have the following things:

/usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.a
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4
/usr/X11R6/include/X11/xpm.h

What happens if you do ldd against some Xpm-dependant binary? For
example:

$ ldd /usr/lib/netscape/netscape-communicator

All in all, I'm baffled by your problem with Xpm.
