It probably means that gzip tried to pipe its output to a command that never got started. For example: $ ls -lR | rubbish bash: rubbish: command not found Broken pipe >2.

If the script is executable, just type its pathname relative to the current directory: `./preinst.sh' (if its in a directory on your search path, you can just type its name); if it isn't executable you can do `. ./preinst.sh' or else make it executable. >3.

Where did you get this copy of Xfree86 from? If you're using Debian, you should install xbase, the appropriate xserver-??? and a font package (which dselect ought to suggest to you). It looks as though you are trying to install a non-Debian version; this is not really a good idea. >In my /lib/ I only have libc.so.5 >What«s wrong? libc.so.4 is the aout format libc, which is out of date as far as the bo (stable) distribution is concerned.
