Without the following libraries and their symbolic links the startx program would not execute:
1) libgcrypt.so.11.5.3 and its links libgcrypt.so.11 and libgcrypt.so;
2) libgpg-error.so.0.5.0 and its links libgpg-error.so.0 and libgpg-error.so
These libraries can be obtained from the /usr/lib folder of the CDlinux community edition.
In order to get startx to execute a person has to:
1)allow the live cd to load the system;
2)switch to a virtual terminal by pressing Ctrl-Atl-F2 simultaneously;
3)execute mc as root;
4)copy the missing libraries into /usr/lib;quit mc;
5)make the links as root (eg. sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libgcrypt.so.11.5.3 /usr/lib/libgcrypt.so.11);and finally,
6)type startx;and,of course,press enter.
