That's a FreeBSD library. It's not to be used bu Linux binaries.

The linux_base port installs xpm, but it has only been added recently.
You can add xpm by hand:
o  Go to a RedHat FTP mirror that carries redhat-5.2
   (see http://www.readhat.com)
o  Download xpm-*.i386.rpm
o  Install it with:
	rpm -i --root /compat/linux --dbpath /var/lib/rpm --ignoreos
rpm-*.i386.rpm

You can also reinstall linux_base, of course :-)

HTH,
