Look at the thread "Mosaic: can't find library 'libXt.so.6'"
and "Thanks" that hit the list today.  You have the same problem with a
different program. 

If you have deleted them check
http://www.geocrawler.com/lists/3/Debian-Linux/199/0/
The "Mosaic..." thread is there already.

The "Thanks" thread basically said try -
$ strace wordperfect &> strace_out
or whatever^^^^^^^ executable wordperfect uses

$ grep libXt.so.6 strace_out

Look at where the library is pointing and then create a link there from
where your libXt.so.6 actually resides.  Run -
$ locate libXt.so.6
if it isn't on your machine you will have to install xlib6g.
