Error while loading shared libraries: libXmu.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory on CentOS 6

If you using gaussview and you encountered this error on CentOS 6 or RH6, 

$ /usr/local/gaussian/gv/gview.exe: error while loading shared libraries: 
libXmu.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This is due to the missing libXmu libraries and related dependencies. Just simply do a

# yum install libXmu*

or if you wish to check which repo supplies the libXmu

# yum whatprovides libXmu
