This should go away after a reboot.  The problem is that the current
ldconfig does not keep enough context for us to reliably rerun it
automatically from the make "install" target.

If you can't reboot your machine, try "ldconfig /usr/lib
/usr/local/lib /usr/X11R6/lib".  If you haven't added any weird things
to your system, this should clear the problems.

The fix to it is in the development system and is undergoing the test
phase.  It will go into -current soon.
