Add the following line to your /etc/ld.so.conf:

	/usr/X11R6/lib

Then, run ldconfig and it should be fixed.

Side note, Paul, can you makes sure that whatever X packages we get have
the linker cache rebuilt properly?  The current packages hose the
ld.so.conf file (leaving it empty).  I just noticed this over the weekend
when I was trying to log in from an X terminal and xauth died on me.
