Have you installed the xcompat package? -------------------------------------------------------------------- jkr1003:~$ dpkg -s xcompat Package: xcompat Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: x11 Maintainer: Stephen Early <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Version: 3.1.2-4 Provides: X11R5, xr5shlib, aout-x11r6lib, X11R6 Conflicts: xr5shlib Description: X11R5 and X11R6 a.out compatibility libraries This package provides shared libraries for X11R5 (also called X386) and for the a.out version of X11R6. You need to install it if you intend to use binaries linked with the old versions of these libraries. -------------------------------------------------------------------- This should cure your problems, but I agree; in the long run xinvaders should be recompiled for ELF.
