OK, I edited /etc/ld.so.conf and commented out line /usr/X11R6/lib and rerun ldconfig. Ran "ldd ./programs/xdm/xdm" and yes, xlibs are unresolved. Shutdown your xdm session and try to start again, you will not be able to fire it up unlesss you edit ld.so.conf again and rerun ldconfig.
I think the default USRLIBDIRPATH ^H^H^H^H^H^H^ SHLIBDIRPATH should be compiled in by default. Yes, some systems will need either -rpath or -R as noted in this thread. Ideas?
