Something is really screwy here...libfontconfig.so.* and libfreetype.* are
already there - and even copying them to /usr/lib doesn't help. ldconfig -m
doesn't help. ldconfig -r even lists it:

  40:-lfontconfig.6.0 => /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.6.0

and ldconfig -R /usr/X11R6/lib  adds all the libs in that directory just
fine.

but still:


 /usr/local/libexec/symux: can't load library 'libfontconfig.so.6.0'

I wonder if it can't load not because it can't find it, but for some other
reason - but I'd think it would give a different error.
