Spot on!!    Many thanks :-)

What I don't understand is why that works, when
/compat/linux/etc/ld.so.conf points at the right place in the very first
line!

,----
| include ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
| /lib
| /usr/lib
| /usr/local/lib
`----

The only .conf file in  ld.so.conf.d is

xorg-x11-i386.conf

which contains the line

/usr/X11R6/lib

Is ldconfig ignoring the first line?

I'm grateful but puzzled - thanks again :-)
