Then you need to set --with-xpm-includes=/usr/dept/xpm/include, not just
/usr/dept/xpm.

I assume you mean config.log here.
dg> configure:4384: checking for XpmReadFileToXpmImage in -lXpm
dg> configure:4403: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -R/usr/dept/xpm conftest.c -lXpm -lXpm

dg> ld: fatal: file /usr/dept/R6/lib/libXpm.a: unknown type, unable to process using elf(3E) libraries
It's failing because it's finding /usr/dept/R6/lib/libXpm.a instead of
/usr/dep/xpm/libXpm.a; presumably the one in /usr/dept/R6/lib isn't
correct for the architecture you're using.
I suggest changing the LDFLAGS setting to include both the -L and -R
options.
In summary, try this:
$ LDFLAGS='-L/usr/dept/xpm -R/usr/dept/xpm' ./configure --with-xpm-includes=/usr/dept/xpm/include --with-xpm-library=/usr/dept/xpm
If that doesn't work, send the errors. Also verify that libXpm.a is
indeed in /usr/dept/xpm, and not in /usr/dept/xpm/lib or somesuch.
