add this to the linker command:
-L/usr/lib... whatever the path to the libXpm.so. library is. you
don't specify the actual library, just the path to it.
the problem is that the linker does not know where to find the lib.
this may also be fixed by simply running ldconfig and then trying to
link the package.
