Nope, XFree86 3.2 ships with libX*.so.6.1.  Probably one of your
installed packages is more recent, and has been linked against
libX*.so.6.3 (aka. has been built under XFree86 3.3).

Again, it's probably that nothing terrible will happen.  One of my
machines at work runs `cvsup' each day, spitting out this complaint,
i'm simply ignoring it.
