Re: Oh dear. Fatal mistakes...
Ok so this is my solution :
Reinstall the debian distribution (i know : oh my god !)
and get package xlib6 (latest version)
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/hamm/hamm/binary-i386/oldlibs/xlib6_3.3.2-3.deb
This version isn't conflict with libc6
You can also get libc5 (latest version)
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/hamm/hamm/binary-i386/oldlibs/libc5_5.4.38-1.deb
You install the package and no depency problems will came :)
Bye.
