Hi Folks, No one answered my post, but I figured it out....As I stated below, my /etc file was overwritten by an earlier version. I took a look at ld.so.conf and sure enough some of the lib directories were missing. I replaced them, did another ldconfig -v, and everything is working fine now. Out of curiosity, I wonder why the system did not work before. ldconfig -p showed the library as being loaded, why did it not work? Does ld.so.cache get checked by X before loading?
Well, like I said everything is cool now. Take care everyone.
