Looking on my system..

root ~># rpm -qf /usr/lib/libtix4.1.8.0.so
tix-4.1.0.6-30

looks like you need to find the `tix' RPM..  Just dig around on your CD
(If you installed from CD..) or go to rpmfind.net 

Hint: often, you can get a list of appropriate rpm files by going to
http://rpmfind.net/pub/RPM/<packagename>.html.  In this case, go to
http://rpmfind.net/pub/RPM/tix.html.  Make sure you get a package for
your distribution, though..
