/usr/lib/libXext.so.6 File too short

Question

Hi, Im trying to get xorg running.
I'm running Arch on Vbox as guest.
I don't know  exactly what I did to get this error, I was following the Arch wiki and was in the part of installing hal, dbus, xfree-input-keyboard and mouse.
Now I'm getting an error that wasn't before. I type "startx" and I get:
>  xauth: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libXext.so.6: file too short
>  xauth: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libX11.so.6: file too short
With "pacman -Qo libX11.so.6"
> error: failed to read file libX11.so.6: No such file or directory
"pacman -Qo libX11.so.6"
> error: failed to read file libX11.so: No such file or directory
Same for libXext.so.6
"pacman -Ss libxext"
> extra/libxext 1.1.1-1      X11 miscellaneous extensions library
"pacman -S libxext"
>warning: libext-1.1.1-1 is up to date -- reinstalling

"pacman -R libxext"
> error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)

I also renamed ld.so.cache to ld.so.cache (should I do anything else to rebuild it?)

Hi thanks, that did it.
Unfortunately now "startx" throws another new error that wasn't before. "Startx" would bring up a black screen I couldn't get out from before, I guess it was working, kinda.
This is the error now:
>dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vboxvideo_drv.so : undefined symbol: resVga Shared
> (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vboxvideo_drv.so
> (EE) Failed to load module "vboxvideo" (loader failed, 7)
> (EE) module ABI major version (4) doesn´t match the server´s version (7)
>Fatal server error:
>no screens found
So I tried just in case:
"pacman -Qo vboxvideo_drv.so". The file didn't belong to any package.
"pacman -Sf virtualbox-additions". All ok the package was reinstalled.
But that didn't solve the problem. I also did "shutdown -rF now"
Same problem still.
