Dear Steve,

"./configure --help" is all you need to know, because this shows:

  --with-gd-libs=FLAGS    linker flags for the gd library

So you can put whatever linker flags you need in there. 

However, I agree that it would be better if autoconf handled this
automatically in all known cases. The corresponding test is in
m4/nut_check_libgd.m4.  On my system, gdlib-config is not installed,
and therefore, NUT uses the default flags, which are

LDFLAGS="-L/usr/X11R6/lib -lgd -lpng -lz -ljpeg -lfreetype -lm -lXpm -lX11"

and should work for you. Probably the problem is that gdlib-config
outputs something wrong or incomplete on your system. Maybe we need a
separate test for libXpm. 

What is the output of the following on your system?

 gdlib-config --version
 gdlib-config --ldflags
 gdlib-config --includes

Does this include flags for libXpm, or is there a similar but separate
mechanism for determining libXpm flags?

Thanks, -- Peter
