A friend of mine solved that by walking around with a bootable CD-ROM :-)

I have libXpm on HP-UX, installed myself. No problems, as far as I
recall. Of course it is under ~/lib, not in /usr/lib or /lib

Referring back to the Xaw problem, I'm not entirely sure I passed the
local lib-path to configure (though ~/etc/site.config should do that
automatically). I'll look it up.
