I downloaded the full tar ball version. I'm using the Gnome 2 desktop. Do I need to download libXcursor.so from some where and install it?


libXcursor is a part of my xorg-x11 installation:

dkasak ~ # locate libXcursor.so
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXcursor.so
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXcursor.so.1.0.2
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXcursor.so.1
dkasak ~ # qpkg -f /usr/X11R6/lib/libXcursor.so
x11-base/xorg-x11 *
dkasak ~ #

I assume it also comes with XFree86. Try the above 'locate' command ( locate libXcursor.so ) and see if it's on your system or not. You may have to upgrade to a later version of XFree86 ( or jump ship to xorg-x11 like most ).

That's well outside the scope of the mailing list, and I've never really used RedHat apart from my first 3 months of Linux, so I don't want to give you advice that will mess up your system, but it looks like either your X installation is broken, or too old.
