You need either Linux-I86 or Linux-elf, depending on which kind of
binaries your Linux system uses. If it's a recent distribution, it'll
be elf. If in doubt, try both and see which one works :+)
If neither seem to work, download the c file and compile your own.

When you TeX a musixtex source file foo.tex, it produces foo.mx1 which
then gets converted to foo.mx2 by musixflx for a second pass by TeX.
I don't know what your files might be but I doubt they're important.
