You don't need libg++, only libstdc++. libg++ is a really old (pre
ANSI/ISO standard) library from GNU that has some extra C++ features,
most of which, or similar, has been incorporated into the standard.
I guess you didn't install the xpm-devel package (or libxpm-dev). If
you did, than you'd probably have the link
libXpm.so => libXpm.so.<x>
and the static library
libXpm.a

You need to link with libcrypt (flag -lcrypt). My guess is you're
using a rahter new glibc, where libcrypt is seperated out of libc.
Perhaps this needs to be fixed in config/Makefile.linuxmandrake or
what ever.
libg++ should really not be needed, as stated above. Perhaps another
fix to config/Makefile.linuxmandrake.

The reason is that libcrypt functions are not used in other places
than rootd and proofd (for obvious reasons).

libcrypt is install on your system - it's part of glibc. Check /lib
and/or /usr/lib

Well, you could argue that this is not tied specificly to Un*x, but is
rather general, in that you need to link against libraries, objects,
ladida, to resolve all symbols :-)
