XPM can be found at Sunsite, for example.

You really should try to get your systems administrator to install it for
you. Failing that, you will have to put it somewhere in your home
directory and tell configure where to look. Something like:

/home
|
`-/ulric
  |
  `-/X11
    |
    |-libXpm.so
    |
    `-xpm.h

And then run configure like so:

CFLAGS=/home/ulric LDFLAGS=/home/ulric/X11 ./configure
