Re: relocation error(s) with various binaries

[Chris Gorman <chrisgorman@sympatico.ca>]

Ok, I've solved this for my system.  I removed X and all associated 
libraries and started with a system without /usr/X11R6.  Then I 
reinstalled from stable and I have a system working without the errors 
mentioned below.  If I get brave in the next little while I'll try sid, 
but I need a working system ATM, so it won't be too soon.  Thanks to all 
those who made suggestions.
