Hey there, John.
libXfixes is part of the Xorg 6.8.1 release. That one is available in
slackware-current. Slackware-10.0 currently goes up to xorg 6.7.0. Grab the
x11-6.8.1 and x11-devel-6.8.1 packages from slackware-current, and you should
be good to go.
I'd also advise to use swaret to bring them down, so it can resolve
any possible dependencies as well. Good luck.
BL.
