Judging by the error (if thats the only one, then i would say /usr/X11R6/lib
is defined in /etc/ld.so.conf and that you have rerun ldconfig.
I presume "/usr/X11//r6/lib/libXpm.so.4" is a typo, it should be
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4

If its a missing symlink it should be linked as follows,
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4 -> libXpm.so.4.11*
Or a higher version #.

As far as i know they are 2 different executables.

BTW;
I dont have libXm.so.1.2 installed either.

But i am not an X expert, so there might be some mre detailed answers from
others to come.
