Looks like you got a lot farther than I did with it... Are you sure you don't have an old aout ld.so on that machine? Here's what I get: >dmaddox> SimCity Starting SimCity ... SimCity Classic - UNIX / Tcl & Tk Toolkit version 3.6b - Mattes /usr/libexec/ld.so: Undefined symbol "___error" called from sim:/usr/X11R6/lib/aout/libX11.so.6.1 at 0x20160644 >dmaddox> BTW - That 'commerce' directory has more old aout binaries in it I bet... Also, it looks to me like SimCity would probably run just fine for you if you started X on an 8-bit display...
