Most likely not (unless your modem happens to be Plug-n-Play). More
likely you
just have configured serial support as a module which doesn't happen to
be loaded
when serial port configuration happens. Change /etc/modules to load
serial at
manually rather than being auto-loaded if you want this message to go
away.

You are correct that you need to add the line

/usr/X11R6/lib

to your /etc/ld.so.conf file and run ldconfig. If you didn't rerun
ldconfig
or reboot then this line hasn't taken effect. Of course, there's always
the outside
chance that you don't have /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so.6.* which shouldn't
happen
if you let dselect do it's work of selecting the X shared libraries. 
 
Good luck. Enjoy linux.
