I also had the same problem. I'm using Lucid Lynx. Angband had installed perfectly under Intrepid Ibex.
For my lucid install, I checked that the above .bmp files were installed --they were. But the -g option did not use the tiles, program ran in ASCII mode. I attempted to build from source using directions here http://rephial.org/wiki/Compiling but still didn't work. I finally succeeded after I installed the header files for libglade2-dev (and one dependency that synaptic needed, sorry I didn't copy that down.) Now the program works with gtk front-end and graphical tiles.
