Well, certainly, I had assumed that to be the case. > If you're going to this effort anyways: there's a known bug in > k (mentioned in the release notes, but possible to overlook). > The workaround is to turn on backing store in the x server.

But the license is right.] That's, erm, interesting. My intent wasn't to try to actually port the package but just try to get the binary running using ia32-libs. Then, if that didn't work right off, to try to figure out what libraries it's missing (if that's the case) or what the problem is in general. The next step would be to see if we can then resolve those problems. I have to admit that I didn't realize one of the binaries had X calls... I expect that will make it more difficult. Perhaps I missed it, but were there X calls in the function list you provided previously? Stephen
