I still have the libexpat problems.  I've tried ldconfig -m and symbolic
links in /usr/lib /usr/X11R6/lib and setting environment variables to
playing with /etc/ld-elf.so.conf to no avail.

Any other ideas?  I can't get anything to link with libexpat.so.4.

I have to get back to my day-job stuff... Lunch is over :)
