maybe this is only a typo, but i guess what you mean is:
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libexpat.so /usr/X11/lib

but first try, if the source, to which the link should point actually
exists.

btw: looks as if gcc does not add /usr/local/lib to the -L or -rpath path...
maybe you can mess around with the makefiles (well, i do not like imake, do
you ;) and simply add a -L/usr/local/lib to LDFLAGS or such a variable.
