Strange. Do:

  ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmuu.*

Check that the file is there. It should be a symlink to a real library, here's mine:

  -rw-r--r--    1 root     root        11584 Oct 21 23:23 libXmuu.a
  lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           14 Oct 21 23:23 libXmuu.so -> libXmuu.so.1.0
  lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           14 Oct 21 23:23 libXmuu.so.1 -> libXmuu.so.1.0
  -rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        13732 Oct 21 23:23 libXmuu.so.1.0

If this isn't the case then correct the symlink. And try issuing:

  env-update

to ensure your LD_PRELOAD is set correctly.
