Everywhere whether the toplevel Makefile explicitly says
/path/to/libXpm.a is wrong.  Rather, it should just specify 

  -L/some/path  -lXpm

in the LDF variable.

Remove those junks from the Makefile.  If Xpm is in /usr/lib on your
system, just add -lXpm to LDFLAGS in the makefile -- the compiler will
automatically search /usr/lib because it is a standard place.  But You
can also add -L/usr/lib to LDFLAGS if you really want to be sure.

Add "-L/usr/lib"
