library problems

[Scott Robbins]

When I mentioned that I had been having trouble with various port
managing utilities and the git repository, someone suggested that I do
make index. 

This seems to have worked on 6.2-PRE-RELEASE.  However, on my
CURRENT install, something went wrong.  I am not sure when, so I can't
consider this a bug report.  :)

At any rate, suddenly, various and sundry applications are looking for
the libraries, which are there in /usr/X11R6/lib in /usr/local/lib.  

So far, I've just been doing symlinks as the problem arises, trying to
remember what I did to make this happen.  

Has anyone run into this, and do they have any idea how I cleverly
managed to break something that was running quite well?  

This, of course, is the trouble with playing.  One doesn't pay close
attention to what they're doing.  I think the problem actually began
when I did the make index--it was looking for a library that was needed.  

I then played around trying to upgrade various things--brilliantly not
bothering to keep track of what I was doing.  

At any rate, not that my stupidity deserves it, but if someone has any
ideas, I'd be grateful.  I'd love to know how I did this.  

I want to make sure that it's clear that after the original upgrade to
xorg-7.1 everything was working, there were no missing library errors
like this.
