: Yes.  You're missing libc.so.4.0.  You need to keep old shared library
: major versions around if you have programs that are linked with them.

Already tried searching around the sites for a new XFree86-2.1.  They're
all the old version and that includes sun-lamp and ftp.iastate's.  If some
nice person could point me to the site where a current XFree86-2.1 could be
found i'd be most grateful.  At the moment i've resorted to XFree86-2.0 as
I can at least get that going.
