Presumably, you found the library in /usr/X11R6/lib ?  If so, you need
to add that path to the default search path for ldconfig.  You should
have a line in /etc/rc.conf that looks something like:

	ldconfig_paths="/usr/lib/compat /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/local/lib"

I suspect you're missing the "/usr/X11R6/lib" part. :-)

Later,
Sheldon.
