Please do the following and compare:
~$ ls /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libX*
/usr/lib/libc5-compat/libX11.so.6@ /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXmu.so.6@
/usr/lib/libc5-compat/libX11.so.6.1 /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXmu.so.6.0
/usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXIE.so.6@ /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXp.so.6@
/usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXIE.so.6.0 /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXp.so.6.2
/usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXaw.so.6@ /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXpm.so.4@
/usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXaw.so.6.1 /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXpm.so.4.10
/usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXext.so.6@ /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXt.so.6@
/usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXext.so.6.3 /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXt.so.6.0
/usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXi.so.6@ /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXtst.so.6@
/usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXi.so.6.0 /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXtst.so.6.1
You should have at least some libX11, libXpm files there. Some of the
are symlinks.

If the libaries are not in their directories, please manually install
the oldlibs/xpm4.7 and oldlibs/xlib6 packages. Just something like:
dpkg -i .../debian/dists/stable/main/binary-i386/oldlibs/xpm*
You can also call "ldconfig -p | grep 'libc5.*X' to check which
libaries the dynamic linker knows of. My output is:
$ /sbin/ldconfig -p | grep 'libc5.*X'
libX11.so.6 (libc5) => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libX11.so.6
