It did sort of.  I downloaded the stuff from the xperiment directory
which basically let me know that I need newer versions of the older type
of libraries.

Basically, I got newer libraries and run-time linker, but unfortunately
they are the wrong binary type.

moth# file lib.new/*
lib.new/ld-linux.so.1.6.5:  ELF 32-bit LSB dynamic lib i386 (386 and up) Version 1
lib.new/ld.so:              Linux/i386 demand-paged executable (QMAGIC)
lib.new/libc.so.4.6.27:     Linux/i386 demand-paged executable (QMAGIC)
lib.new/libcurses.so.0.1.2: Linux/i386 demand-paged executable (QMAGIC)
lib.new/libm.so.4.6.27:     Linux/i386 demand-paged executable (QMAGIC)

Versus the versions which seem to work:

moth# file lib/*
lib/ld.so:       Linux/i386 demand-paged executable (ZMAGIC)
lib/libc.so.4:   Linux/i386 demand-paged executable (ZMAGIC)
lib/libm.so.4:   Linux/i386 demand-paged executable (ZMAGIC)
lib/libX11.so.3: Linux/i386 demand-paged executable (ZMAGIC)
lib/libXt.so.3:  Linux/i386 demand-paged executable (ZMAGIC)

Note that the newer versions also have a minor #, and the older versions
are ZMAGIC executables while the new versions are QMAGIC executables.

Where would I find 'newer' libraries and run-time linker which use the
(older?) ZMAGIC format?  In particular, I need newer X libraries. :(

Thanks so far,



Nate
