Hmm, first of all, you can always do it by hand :-) Instlal doesn't do
much, just set the permissions like you want, and group and ownership
:-)

I don't know how xpm configures, but if it uses xmkmf (imake), then your
imake setup ist wrong. It should state, where bsdinst can be found.

But anyway, why not either change the makefile to use the bsdinst with
the proper path, or just copy the bsdinst temporarily to the place that
make searches.

The last and proper solution would be to fix your imake-setup, if xpm
uses imake. You will run into the same problem for every X program that
uses imake and bsdinst to install itself. If xpm doesn't use imake, then
it's configuration is wrong :-)
