Unfortunately, X is a big mess for now, I wouldn't have recommended playing with it if your exsiting copy was v3.2 and working properly. It's compiled for 3.0-CURRENT and will cause odd problems for you if you aren't running it... > This library is certainly there with global read permissions and also > appears when I run ldconfig -r. > > any thoughts on why xdm won't run? Make sure there is only one libXmu, reboot, and if that doesn't work, dig out your 2.1.6 CD and reinstall X from that.
