I downloaded the linux 4.1.0 binaries (glibc21) and ran the Xinstall
program.  I had no previous X installation. The install went fine, files
extracted and copied into directories ok.  Then ldconfig ran, no errors.
Then when trying to set up fonts.dir the install complained about not being
able to locate the shared libraries:

Updating the fonts.dir file in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local.../usr/X11R6/bin/mkfontdir: error in loading
shared libraries: libXfont.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or directory

I set the path to add /usr/X11R6/bin and try to run startx but it fails
also complaining of not being able to locate shared libraries:

xauth: error in loading shared libraries: libXmuu.so.1: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory

It appears that the shared libs do not get copied to the /lib directory by
the install script.  ldconfig correctly creates links in the /usr/X11R6/lib
directory but there is no path adjustment to allow ld.so to find them.  Is
this intentional and if so how do I get the shared libs to be found?  Or
was it assumed that I would copy the shared lib files to /lib myself?

Thanks
