This is my response to Marius from earlier today. I should have sent it to the
list as well.
This was done in Fedora 8, but it I'm guessing similar commands in the other
distros that now use libxcb will also work.
BTW, I tried upgrading to libxcb-1.1 and using the sloppy_lock variable that
fixes some other programs with this error but it did not work for me.

I believe I have solved it, though it isn't too pretty. I
essentially
used the method people have used for nmrdraw:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/nmrpipe/message/1630
This involves downgrading to the earlier packages (see the link) by
doing something like this:
rpm -U --force --oldpackage --nodeps libX11-1.0.3-8.fc7.i386.rpm
libX11-devel-1.0.3-8.fc7.i386.rpm
copy the library files from /usr/lib to the xtalview lib:
cp /usr/lib/libX11.so.6.2.0 /usr/local/XtalView/lib/ibmpclinux2/
go to xtalview lib directory and make sym links:
ln -s libX11.so.6.2.0 libX11.so
ln -s libX11.so.6.2.0 libX11.so.6
and now do a 'yum update' to replace the libX11 packages.
I just got this working and haven't tested it much. I just ran xfit
and
opened a model. I haven't tried anything else from xtalview.

A reference to Xtalview/xfit and MIFit came up in a thread without subject
line. The poster is correct that MIFit is a successor to XtalView. MIFit is
under active development and is free to academics. It runs on Windows and
Linux. MIFit can be obtained from
http://mi.active-sight.com/download.html
Besides the model-fitting applications, MIFit contains a set of
applications for structure solution and refinement as well as a ligand
dictionary editor for generating ligand refinement restraints.
One suggestion on the XtalView/xfit problem is that it might be a result of
trying to run on a 64-bit computer.
