I am trying to compile an application that needs X pixmaps. I do not
have root on the machine I'm using so does anyone know where I can get
xpm.h and how I can tell gcc to compile in the local version which
I'll download?
checking for X... libraries /usr/X11R6/lib, headers /usr/X11R6/include
checking for main in -lXpm... no
checking for X11/xpm.h... no

There should be a libXpm package that should include
/usr/include/X11/xpm.h, among other things.

If you put libxpm in a non-standard place,
most configure scripts will give you a "with" option
to say where it is:
--with-xpm-includes=/home/my/include --with-xpm-library=/home/my/lib
If not, there is always CCFLAGS, LDFLAGS.

I've not personally run into that problem with Gentoo but that is
another possibility, depending on Zach's system setup.

A Linux system is almost always under a desktop users control.
The OP said he didn't have root. I'm guessing, it's not Linux
but that shouldn't matter.
I've installed a TON of software from source without root.
The above instructions fixed almost every problem I ran into.
