Your problem is that the XPM library doesn't come with the system.

>From the FAQ:

13) I'm trying to build FVWM, but the linker is complaining about
    missing functions like 'XpmReadFileToPixmap' or the compiler can't
    find the include file X11/xpm.h. Why is that?

A: You need to have the Xpm library on your system. You can find the
   source for it at ftp.x.org in /contrib/libraries. Or you can
   compile without Xpm support (see the configure.h file) and lose out
   on all the pretty color icons.
