Thanks all for the suggestions to use other pdf- readers,
but I definitely want xpdf and I finally solved my problem as follows:

sudo apt-get install libfreetype6-dev libmotif-dev
wget ftp://ftp.foolabs.com/pub/xpdf/xpdf-3.03.tar.gz
tar xzpf xpdf-3.03.tar.gz
cd xpdf-3.03
./configure --with-freetype2-library=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu \
    --with-freetype2-includes=/usr/include/freetype2 \
    --with-Xm-library=/usr/lib \
    --with-Xm-includes=/usr/include/Xm
make
sudo make install
