You certainly mean libXmuu.so.1, don't you? That library is in package
XFree86-libs-4.3.0-55.
As a general advise: better upgrade XFree only when not running X, that
means in runlevel 3 (init 3).

There is no X-Windows, it is called X Window System. Windows[tm] is a
Microsoft product.
You certainly need to repair the updated XFree packages. Did you already
rerun up2date? Maybe it else helps if you fetch the
XFree86-libs-4.3.0-55 RPM from a mirror server and reinstall it.
