I've just run into some very strange behaviour. My linker has suddenly stopped finding shared libraries in my X11R6 directory. It's there in ld.so.conf anf LD_LIBRARY_PATH, I've killed ld.so.cache, re-run ldconfig (in verbose mode: it sees X11R6 and identifies the libraries), symlinks in /lib work, etc, but the linker always fails to find libraries in the X11R6 directory. Can anyone suggest why this should have spontaneously happened and what I can do about it? This started happening after a series of mini power outages got apcupsd confused and caused it to attempt to shutdown my system. When I restarted, the apcupsd CGI monitoring program died saying it couldn't find libXpm. I'm using a 2.4 kernel, 2.4.22-10mdkenterprise under Mandrake 9.2 to be precise.
