Your PATH is only used for executables that you run. libXmu.so.6.0 is a
shared library and it's ld.so that goes searching for it, so you need to
put this in ld.so's path. You do this with either the ldconfig command
line or putting /usr/X11R6/lib in /etc/ld.so.conf which ldconfig will scan
at boottime.
See the man page for ldconfig.
