I have just installed Linux thot yesterday on a similar
configuration: 1.2.13, XFree86 3.1.2 and olvwm. It runs fine, so
olvwm isn't the cause of your difficulty. I would check if your
ld.so.conf is right (includes usr/X11R6/lib) and also check the
library versions to which the .so.6 links point Mine point to the
corresponding so.6.0 libraries. If those are ok, run ldconfig
again just to be sure. But if all that doesn't help, I don't know
what else to try :(

Bonne chance...........
