[XFree86] XFree86 4.3.0 binary; cannot execute binary file
Hello, it's the first time I want to install XFree86 on my own, because I want to find out how things works in X. I use SuSE8.1 Linux on a Pentium1 machine. I have the minimal Installation of SuSE8.1 without X. I take the binary version of XFree86 4.3.0. I download the Xinstall.sh to find out, what version of XFree86 I need for my machine; I execute it on my machine; the message told me to use the binary version of Linux-ix86-glibc22. I download all the binaries told in the install file (only the necassary 12 files) from the ftp Server and the Linux-ix86-glibc22 directory. Then I want to execute the installation with sh Xinstall , but I was told that extract don't work proper. So I download the source of extract, compile it and then run the script sh Xinstall.shagain. Now all the files were extracted and copied in my fllesystem. But if I want to execute any binary of the /usr/X11R6/bin directory I am told: i.e. - bash: xf86config: cannot execute binary file What went wrong ? Don't the binaries work for Pentium1 machines ? Do I have to download the sources and then compile all sources for my pentium machine ? Possible wrong kernel settings ? Any help is welcome. Thanks a lot in advance!
