Dan --
I appreciate the suggestions, and apologize for the delay in replying. My
e-mail is erratic at the moment.
I followed your suggestion with the following result:
knighten:~/C gcc -o conftest -g -O2 conftest.c -lXpm /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lSM -lICE -lX11
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so: undefined reference to `_fxstat'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
which appears to be just what is happening with configure.
And looking for _fxstat in the output of nm /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so shows
U _fxstat
I've not tried rebuilding libXpm.so as it does appear to work.
I have tried getting around configure and reworking the makefile so link with
libXpm.so, but I haven't been successful with that.
