Please check libXpm-devel (CentOS) or libxpm-dev (Debian/Ubuntu) package is correctly installed.

Thanks for your reply.

I already installed libxpm-dev, I run this command before:

apt-get install libbz2-dev libxml2-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libjpeg-dev libpng-dev libxpm-dev libfreetype6-dev libc-client2007e-dev libkrb5-dev libmcrypt-dev libpq-dev libmysqlclient-dev

Also make symbolic links if library is not located where the configure expected:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXpm.a /usr/lib/libXpm.a

and also to this location:

mkdir -p /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lib64/
ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXpm.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lib64/

I'm reading about this problem, and people is having problems with --with-libdir= directive in configure, and locations are different from debian distributions, from old squeeze to recent distros like jessie.
PHP 5.3 maybe is trying to use old locations like in debian 6 squeeze.

I'm not an expert, so, maybe im not in the correct way.

Thanks for your time, your script looks great!

I tried again with a clean install Debian 7 and a new install Debian 8. I installed libxpm-dev with apt-get using the command in my previous post, and the problem is still there, same error.

Have you tried installing PHP 5.3 in Debian 7 or 8?
If you want, I can give you a VPS test box. I have a proxmox server, im using official Debian templates.

Thanks for your help

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/xpm.pc

/usr/share/doc/libxpm-dev/changelog.gz

PHP 5.3's libXpm configure:

 for i in $PHP_XPM_DIR /usr/local /usr/X11R6 /usr; do
  test -f $i/$PHP_LIBDIR/libXpm.$SHLIB_SUFFIX_NAME || test -f $i/$PHP_LIBDIR/libXpm.a && GD_XPM_DIR=$i && break
done

if test -z "$GD_XPM_DIR"; then
  { echo "configure: error: libXpm.(a|so) not found." 1>&2; exit 1; }
fi

for i in include include/X11; do
  test -f $GD_XPM_DIR/$i/xpm.h && GD_XPM_INC=$GD_XPM_DIR/include
done

if test -z "$GD_XPM_INC"; then
  { echo "configure: error: xpm.h not found." 1>&2; exit 1; }

libXpm-devel files list (CentOS):
/usr/bin/cxpm
/usr/bin/sxpm
/usr/include/X11/xpm.h

/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/xpm.pc
/usr/share/man/man1/cxpm.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/sxpm.1.gz

It's no problem in CentOS when install PHP 5.3
So, create symbolic links in Debian or Ubuntu like this:
64bit:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXpm.a /usr/lib64/libXpm.a

32bit:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libXpm.a /usr/lib/libXpm.a

and try again.
Thanks for your suggestion.

Thanks for your reply. I tried and the error with libXpm looks solved, then another error "configure: error: freetype.h not found." appears and I solved doing this symbolic links:

mkdir /usr/include/freetype2/freetype
ln -s /usr/include/freetype2/freetype.h /usr/include/freetype2/freetype/freetype.h

I tried again and again error, last lines:

Разобрался в причине? У меня такая же ошибка. На этой же версии php
configure: error: build test failed. Please check the config.log for details.
