What does it say if you type in "ldd `which xauth`"?
It should look something like this:
[bevan at saladin ~]> ldd `which xauth`
libXmuu.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmuu.so.1 (0x00101000)
libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x00625000)
libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x00545000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x41018000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x41177000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x41000000)
If ldd can't find the first three, you probably have a misconfigured
ld.so. Check if /usr/X11R6/lib is listed in /etc/ld.so.conf:
[bevan at saladin ~]> more /etc/ld.so.conf
/usr/lib/mysql
/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/lib/sane
/usr/lib/qt-3.1/lib
If it isn't, try adding it and running (as root) "ldconfig -v".
If it is, try running "ldconfig -v" anyway to update your cache information.
Then check ldd again to see if the libraries are being properly located yet.
If your ldd looks ok, something more complicated and mys-teeeer-ious is
at work.
