grass and expat

Since installing fc8 I have had problems starting GRASS from the application
launcher.  I get an error message saying it can not open shared object file:
libexpat.so.0: No such file or directory. I checked and this file does not
exist on my system. The weird thing is that I do not get the error message
when I start GRASS from the command line, it only occurs when I start it
from the application launcher. The command used in the application launcher
points to the same binary /usr/bin/grass62 as when I start it from the
command line. I uninstalled and the reinstalled GRASS, but still have the
same problem. Why would GRASS need libexpat.so.0 when it is started from the
application launcher, but not when it is started from the command line? This
only started occurring when I upgraded to fc8.
