If you do "file full_path_library" for each of the above libraries, what do
you get? On a properly configured ELF system these should be as follows:

sduchene:/home/sad/News# file /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6.0
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6.0: ELF 32-bit LSB dynamic lib i386 (386 and up) Version 1

sduchene:/home/sad/News# file /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4.7
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4.7: ELF 32-bit LSB dynamic lib i386 (386 and up) Version 1

sduchene:/home/sad/News# file /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.1
/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.1: ELF 32-bit LSB dynamic lib i386 (386 and up) Version 1

I.E. they should be ELF libraries. Also there should exist two links for each one

sduchene:/home/sad/News# ll /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so*
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           13 May 25 14:26 /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so -> libX11.so.6.1*
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           13 May 19 13:40 /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 -> libX11.so.6.1*
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root       704487 May 14 17:31 /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.1*

The libX11.so.6 link to libX11.so.6.1 (or libX11.so.6.0 for X11R6 instead of my X11R6.1)
gets made by ldconfig but ldconfig hasn't been updated yet to make the libX11.so link
yet that is required by binutils-2.6.0.12 & 2.6.0.14  This other link I had to go around
and make by hand so I could get ld to dynamically link any executables I was trying to
compile after the upgrade.

	What do you have in your ld.so.conf file in /etc ?
It should look like:

sduchene:/home/sad/News# cat /etc/ld.so.conf
/usr/local/lib
/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/X11/lib
/usr/openwin/lib
/usr/i486-linuxaout/lib
/lib
