You're probably missing some header files, e.g, /usr/include/X11/xpm.h
from the package libxpm-dev.  You can check by looking through config.log in
the top directory.  Also, when you run configure at the start, a list of what
it finds is given at the end.

I don't think you need to specify  -with-jpeg --with-png --with-tiff --with-gif
as they are all the default (if you have the headers/libraries).

If you're building from CVS on the trunk, --with-gtk is also the default now.
