Help! can't 'startx' - missing libc.so

Hi: I apologize for posting this to -current, but I really need to know how bad the damage is ASAP because I may need to reinstall. When I type 'startx' I get a message that libc.so.3 cannot be found and also a note about /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 I'm not sure how these two files are related.
