libXpm is part of the base libraries for XF4. XF3 needed the separate
xpm port. This is why Xpm dependencies were rolled into USE_XPM.
How is it that you compiled xfce at all without X installed? X libraries
*must* be present for xfce compilation, of course. I'm probably
misunderstanding what you meant.
The only way I can see this happening is if you installed the XF4
libraries, installed the xpm port, and then removed the xpm port. Did
this happen?
