  Do you not have a libXpm.a in the same place? I'm not sure how ld works
at that level; it may need the lib.a to reference symbols on the .so (?)
I'd never assumed that to be the case, but if you're having problems, that
may be it.

  If your system has 'truss', and you're still having problems, try a
'truss -f -topen <compile-command>' to find out what file-open [and hence
filename] command is failing - I've assumed it's "libXpm.a" [from '-lXpm']
above.
