[CF List] Help: client and xpmlib

[Andreas Vogl]

To get the install done, you'll need to find/get that xpm lib
on your system. Search for "libxpm*". Then link the library file
into your standard lib-directory, or use the "--with-ldflags=..."
compile option.

If you still have problems grab an IRC client, connect to
openprojects.net and join the channel #crossfire.
You'll get help there.
