Yes, and there's a good reason for that, since I have a number of older
programs that do not support glibc2. Normally, that's no problem because
the libs have different major versions. The linker sorts that out
automatically.

So you're trying to say that vncviewer is *deliberately* linked against
both libc5 and libc6? Trying to be compatible with both libs at once?
But that's ... that's ... well, let me put it mildly: That's something
the designers of the dynamic linker apparently never, ever thought of.

You wrote that you run Slackware. You still have a libc5-only system,
yes? I just wonder how ld-linux.so.1 can work around the missing
library. Strange, strange ...

I hope so. None of the other vector drawing programs (whether it's xfig,
tgif, impress or sketch) is a match for Corel Draw yet.
