hi senseiangel,

here you can find the ".deb" file for libxpm4 (or you can choose an other from here)
you should download it to your n900, than:
1. open terminal
2. type: sudo gainroot
3. navigate to the location (folder) where you downloaded the ".deb" file
4. than type: dpkg -i "*.deb" (type the proper name of the deb file)
5. press Enter, the deb file will be installed

than try to install xscreensavers again; this should work.
