Please help a poor newbie,
I recently attempted to install XFree86 4.1.0 on my machine. This was my first X install attempt (though I'm fairly sure that an older version of X had already been loaded by the Debian installer), and I followed all of the istructions, attempting to overwrite the previous install. Everything went smoothly, but when I tried to configure with xf86config, xf86cfg, or the line 'XFree86 -config', i got the following:
 
xf86cfg  /lib/libc.so.6: version 'GLIBC_2.2' not found (required by xf86cfg)
xf86cfg  /lib/libc.so.6: version 'GLIBC_2.2' not found (required by /usr/X11R6/lib/libx11.so.6)
 
and back to bash prompt. What does this mean? I ran ''sh Xinstall.sh -check' prior to install and wastold that I was running Linux 2.2 (which I knew because I installed Debian 2.2r3). Also, the README seems to imply that the newer versions of X, such as 4.1.0, should install into /etc/X11, but I find no such directory. Everything seems to be in /usr/X11R6, where older versions would install. I tried renaming my /usr/X11R6 so that a new install wouls not overwrite (and therefore install in /etc/X11), but it didn't work.
I know that's a lot of questions, but I'd really appreciate help. I'm determined to get this thing running.
 
Thanks,
TW
