No it just means you're using a newer version of XFree than the docs
expect.
You need the libc5 xlib6 package - the directions the docs give assume
that you're using slink (aka Debian 2.1).
The file name *should* be xlib6_3.3.6-10_i386.deb (I've not looked).
'apt-get install xlib6' as root should do what you need to get WP8 to
work.
