Is libXext.so.6.1 actually in /usr/X11R6/lib? Also, I don't think ld
searches your path for libraries; it searches all the specified library
directories (which is what ldconfig is for).

^? problems mean that your terminal emulator and your shell disagree about
what character is erase. "stty erase ^\?" should do the trick, or
set the terminal emulation to something different. Exactly what depends
on your setup.

Take care,
