>This is how I configured my afterstep:

>./configure --prefix=$HOME/coolstuff/afterstep
>--x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include/X11 --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib
>--enable-texture --with-x --with-xpm-includes=$HOME/xpm-3.4k/lib
>--with-xpm-library=$HOME/xpm-3.4k/lib --with-xpm --disable-script
>--with-png=no --with-jpeg=no

consider removing config.cache file prior to running ./configure,
then run ./configure
Check for messages indicating that it actually found libXpm
if it was not found, check config.log for more detailed information
concerning reasons why it was not found.
