You either have the Path to libXpm.so not in your linker path, or the
package providing the lib is not installed.

Usually we see the second case. Check if you find the file
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so
or on a 64 Bit System
/usr/X11R6/lib64/libXpm.so

If it is not there, install the package providing the file. On my very
old Mandrake the package's name is libxpm4-devel, on my newer Suse it is
xorg-x11-devel.

Rerun configure and if you encounter the same error, check if the linker
fails to find another library.

Dependencies in package databases like rpm are not always perfect. In
this case the gd-devel package should depend on the x11 development package.
