Sounds like it's expecting some other version of libc5. Great help there,
eh? ;)

BTW, I second your frustration at this utterly ludicrous crap -- and I
don't understand who decided to change this as I remember running
"ancient" binaries on a Linux system a few years ago without trouble.
Nowadays I can't even FTP a precompiled GNOME app built two months ago,
and expect it to work.

Hey presto, Linux has revived DLL Hell, grr!
