hmm.. I haven't seen xpm requiring Motif.

Also, xpm is somewhere around v3.4c when I installed it, so either you
scrounged a seriously old version, or you grabbed the wrong thing thinking
it was xpm.

xpm-3.4c is available at: ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/libraries/xpm-3.4c.tar.gz

Compiling it is a simple "xmkmf -a ; make" and then shuffle the files
into place.

My installation notes for this is available at:
