I have the same setup as Wim does (RedHat4.2) and encounter the same
problems: can't load library libXp.so.6 .
Upgrading to a newer version of XFree86 should be easy with the RPM
mechanism of RedHat. Unfortunately RedHat 4 is linked against libc5 and
RedHat 5.x is linked against libc6 (a.k.a. glibc).
I am afraid that the only RPM of XFree86 3.3.2 I can find will be
linked against glibc or is there anybody that knows of a XFree86 3.3.2
RPM linked against libc5?
Cheers,
