Hmm.  First do "rm config.cache" to make sure the configure
cache is not messing things up.  Then try
  ./configure --with-xpm-include=dir
where dir is a directory, which has a subdirectory X11,
which contains xpm.h

I think that's how its supposed to work.

If that doesn't work, send the config.log file which is produced.
