Hi,

I just installed the 2.2-960612-SNAP and everything went fine except 
for one detail. When I try to start xdm I get the following error 
message:
	ld.so failed: Can't find shared library "libX11.so.6.0"

I looked everywhere on the system and I can't find it. The ldconfig
path in /etc/rc includes /usr/X11R6/lib just like it should. I also
tried searching for this file on the www.cdrom.com site, but with no 
luck. The mailing list archives had some references to the same file,
but I still didn't get anywhere.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Dan Baritchi
