I installed YellowdogLinux 2.1 on a LaCie SCSI hard disk and I chose 
to install all the RPM packages. The installation proceeded without 
any difficulty except that a few of the packages did not install. I 
chose on bootup to get to a console first, and after I chose "root" 
as the user and inserted my password,I used the command "startx" to 
get to the graphical interface. In previous installations, this had 
never been a problem. This time, when I used  "startx", I got the 
following error message:

"XAuth: error while loading shared libraries.LibXmuu.so.1:cannot load 
shared object file: No such file or directory"

I went through the list of packages included in YellowdogLinux 2.1 
which were of the library type. I found (1) libxml-1.8.9-5.ppc.rpm, 
and(2)libxml2-2.4.ppc.rpm.
It turned out that they had not been installed, so using the "rpm -i" 
command I installed them. However,the "startx" problem was not 
solved, so obviously the file LibXmuu.so.1 was not part of those 
libxml packages.

My question is this: Does anyone know which rpm package contains LibXmuu.so.1?
I would greatly appreciate getting the information, because I much 
prefer workiing with a graphical interface.
