Same for me here...

You can get rid of this error by copying /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/libXdm* 
to /usr/X11R6/lib , but that likely still won't solve the problem (it didn't 
for me... :-( )

The behavior I'm seeing when I run xdm (from a root login on the console, 
until I can get this fixed)  is that it starts the xserver, but doesn't run 
anything  after that (and the server just quits)...  ktrace didn't provide 
anything useful either :-(   xinit works fine though...

Later...
