I just got those binaries from ftp.xfree86.org and reinstalled X on my 2.2.1 system and rebooted. No change... I still couldn't run xdm because ld couldn't find libXmu.so.6.0 even though it was where it should have been, with world read permissions etc.. On an impulse I decided to copy the library to /usr/lib. xdm no longer barfed on libXmu.so.6.0, but on another, so I copied the other libs from /usr/X11R6/lib to /usr/lib. Now everything works!!! I guess my question is why this would work if ldconfig -r reports that /usr/X11R6/lib is one of the search directories in the first place? cheers, Carey Nairn
