This is an important hint, thank you Bernard! I've just checked my 
Mandrake 9.1 status:

[root at server X11]# rpm -qa *lesst*
lesstif-mwm-0.93.36-2mdk
lesstif-clients-0.93.36-2mdk
lesstif-0.93.36-2mdk
lesstif-devel-0.93.36-2mdk
[root at server X11]# rpm -qa *libxpm*
libxpm4-3.4k-23mdk
[root at server X11]#

It seemed fine with lesstif, lesstif-devel and libxpm, but libxpm-devel 
was missing. Then I installed the missing package so the next check 
resulted with:

[root at server X11]# rpm -qa *libxpm*
libxpm4-3.4k-23mdk
libxpm4-devel-3.4k-23mdk
[root at server X11]#

With demon compilation I haven't had any problem. Until recently, I 
copied and activated my xfbbd from /usr/sbin manually (without any 
script). Then I started to use /usr/local/sbin for storing xfbbd. Any 
suggestion related to that? FYI, I have a dual boot Linux/Windows system 
here which uses common files for both LinFBB/WinFBB.

Now, no problems with 'make' of xfbbX:

It did not report problems with that, but see later ...

They already had rwxr-xr-x   - Is that ok? I copied them both into 
usr/local/bin where demon files are (shouldn't it be /usr/local/sbin ?).

Where rc.fbb script should be placed? I used the one within 
/usr/src/fbbsrc.704p where the sources are. Seems it started properly. 
But when I ran xfbbX it appeared in a bad shape /see picture/
