Make sure your /etc files are up-to-date. Ldconfig is run twice
now, once for ELF and once for a.out. You have to specify paths for
both in rc.conf. Are your shared libraries in /usr/X11R6/lib ELF or
a.out? (Use "file" to find out.) If they're a.out, then you should
have moved them to "/usr/X11R6/lib/aout" during the upgrade. In any
case, make sure "ldconfig_paths" in rc.conf gives the directories
containing ELF libraries, and "ldconfig_paths_aout" gives the
directories containing a.out libraries.
