If you mean that the problem is that xpm.h is not in a
subdirectory called X11, then thats a problem configure
cannot help with, because the code does, eg:

#include <X11/xpm.h>

So you *must* have xpm.h in such a subdirectory.

Maybe you can set something up with symlinks in your home
area?  Eg something like:

  ...home/my_xpm/include/X11/xpm.h ->  real xpm.h
  ...home/my_xpm/lib/libxpm.a -> real libxpm.a

and use --with-xpm-prefix="...home/my_xpm"

Also note you can specify separately --with-xpm-lib
and --with-xpm-include; see ./configure --help.
