Also, I'm coming in late to this thread. Given all that, here's my Best Guess (tm)... When you installed WordPerfect, did you use RPM's --root /compat/linux option? It's possible that the RPM remove process fried everything that it required to run including, in your case, the X window system. I.e., my system has: moneysink~;locate -i libXmu.so.6.0 /usr/X11R6/lib/aout/libXmu.so.6.0 /usr/compat/linux/usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so.6.0 /usr/compat/linux/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libXmu.so.6.0 moneysink~; If you fry the one under /usr/X11R6, you're toast. If you fry the one under /usr/compat/linux, you're fine. My guess is that you deleted your native FreeBSD libXmu.so.6.0. Best suggestion; remove and reinstall X.
