Note: You won't add the library to your PATH variable as that's not used
for libs. Your LDPATH (or something like that) will need the change.

Exact messages help.

find / -name libXpm.4.7 -print

Yes & no. The FFS stores data on disk s.t. you're likely to have all of
a file in one area. Also, UN*X uses its buffer cache to keep from looking
at the disk (and thus caring about fragmentation). Also, the "fragmentation"
some utilities will report is not the same thing that a defragmenter
will get rid of under MacOS, so don't worry about it.

Take care,
