Re: /usr/X11R6/lib

Hi John.

If this is just needed for testing then the easiest way is to take the 
XFree86-libs package from our 31-bit release and use rpm2cpio to unpack them in 
a directory in your 64-bit machine.

Afterwards you need to edit /etc/ld.so.conf and put in the appropriate paths 
there and rerun ldconfig. That should do the job.

You can take a look at how this works buy unpacking the compat-glibc srpm and 
studying the spec file.

If you need futher info feel free to contact me.

Read ya, Phil
