Didn't you get something else after that?
(that is, a hint as to what to do...)

You mean there is a file /usr/X11/include/X11/xpm.h yes?

Strange, I would have thought it should already be looking there 
after it finds the X libs.

First do "rm config.cache", then
   ./configure --with-xpm-header=/usr/X11/include

("./configure --with-xpm-prefix=/usr/X11" may also work)

If that doesn't work, send us the config.log file which is produced.
(The test compilation could fail due to some reason _other_ than
the file not being there.)

Or maybe: are you setting your own CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS or similar?
