That file is in xserv70.tgz so you shouldn't be having that problem unless the
untar failed. Does the file exist (should be in /usr/X11R6/lib)? Are you ok for
disk space in /usr/X11R6?

I've done a few from 6.8 direct to 7.0 (skipping base and package updates)
and probably some from earlier, it's rare (read: I don't remember it happening)
that I have any problems attributed to skipping versions. Not recommended
unless you know how to fix things if they do arise, but still..
