startx is really a wrapper for xinit.  try running
`ldd` on your xinit binary and see where its looking
for the libXpm.so.4  if you have it and its just not
in the right place, you can move things around so it
is in the right place for xinit.

make sure you do a make clean on everything then try
rebuilding xpm.
