Why not using a linux distribution of VNC?

It's not the pm library but the Xpm library. Look for files with the name
libXpm.* in your system libraries. They are most likely found around the X11
libraries.

Have a closer look at the gcc commanline: -L/usr/X11R6/lib should be the
place. What do you find at /usr/X11R6/lib ? Is that available at your
machine? Where do you find libXpm.* ? Add a -L/directory/for/libxpm/ option
to the gcc line to see if it works.

In general the recent verion of X (short for X11) is something like X11R6.
(however X11R4 or X11R5 should do.) They contain the Xpm library. XF86 is an
implementation of X11.
