...I found the problem.  The X binaries were looking for, for example,
libXmu.so.6, when in fact I had libXmu.so.6.1.  Taking a small chance, I
constructed symbolic links and now that bit is sorted out.

Now I just need to fix up my monitor configuration so that I can use the X
display.  And, since apparently neither GLU nor glut are included as part
of the XFree86 OpenGL support, I need to get my hands on a GLU and glut
implementation.  (I guess that I shouldn't be surprised, but I really
expected at least GLU.)  (Hm.  I suppose that I can lift the GLU/glut out
of Mesa-glx.)


This question still remains, though, re. linking under the new
shared-library handling:
