I guess it is the problem with LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Just make sure your ld.so.conf is not empty. There is a possibility that your software installations might have erased the contents of this file. Add the appropriate entries to that file and you restart the machine and you should be fine. Also look up the man pages for "ldconfig".

After realizing that it wasn't secure (better to use SSH) I went back in the files and rechanged them to what they were (backtracked from the howto). Then this morning I rebooted my computer (for reboot since changing and rechanging the files) and now X wont start and gives me this message: INIT: ID "x" respawning to fast: disabled for 5 minutes. Every 5 minutes it displays the same message. Here is a little bit more info on my system: X686 running Red Hat 9.0 with Xfree 4.3 Gnome 2.2. Here are the files I changed from the Howto: xdm-conf, Xaccess and gdm.conf. These are the files mentioned in the howto, and I don't remember playing with other files. Also this morning before restarting I was trying to compile Galeon 1.3.10, and since I was missing libraries I used Ximian Red Carpet to install them (all devel rpm's). Don't know if this caused the problem. TIA for the help, don't want to be stuck using M$ for to long...
