Hmm, I can't reproduce this. Is there anything referencing
/usr/X11R6/lib as a path which can hold libraries and which should be
searched into? Maybe something like /etc/ld*?

For now I've committed two checks:
 - one for ldd|grep /usr/local
 - one for [ -d /usr/X11R6 ]

I'd rather have a single one, checking for:
  ldd | grep -E '(/usr/local|/usr/X11R6)'

KiBi.
