xdosemu broken after xorg6.8.2-1

I had a perfectly working install of dosemu finally, yesterday, configured to run ProComm which I need because it does vt220 terminal emulation really well. But I digress. A yum upgrade to my system put xorg-x11*6.8.2-1 and all its packages on my machine. Today, when I ran xdosemu I get the following error and xdosmenu never starts:

/usr/local/bin/dosemu.bin: symbol lookup error: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXxf86vm.so.1: undefined symbol: XextFindDisplay

This is being broken up by line-wrapping but it's actually one long line.

I found a reference to this issue in the archives:

I'm not sure that this really applies. Can someone please help this Linux beginner understand what's going on? Dosemu still runs just fine, by the way. It's only the X version that's broken.

have dosemu-1.3.1.0 compiled by me on a linux system with Xorg 6.8.2 and
it works fine. I don't know the compile time options (I could have compiled it without
mitshm), and ldd shows:

ldd /usr/X11R6/lib/libXxf86vm.so.1

    libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0xb7fda000)
    libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0xb7f0e000)
    libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0xb7dda000)
    libdl.so.2 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libdl.so.2 (0xb7dd7000)
    /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)

You are missing libXext.so.6 ( which is in the xorg-x11-libs package). What does ldd /usr/X11R6/lib/libXxf86vm.so.1 say and what does rpm -ql xorg-x11-libs | grep ext
says ?

hth,
