The same happened to me. This must be a bug in appropriate instalation
script responsible for adding X11R6 to the system. Because of this no one of
your X apps should work, not only TeX staff. You can repaire it by hand as
follows:
1) Locate all the libX* libraries (may be you have more then ones mentioned in
your letter.
2) Add their pathnames to /etc/ld.so.conf
3) Run 'ldconfig'.
This worked for me.
