libXaw.so.6 is the Athena widget set for X11R6. Many programs that have an X Windows mode require this, even if they also have a text mode interface. You need to install the "xlib" package. This does *not* mean you have to install X windows -- I wouldn't try running it on a 386DX20 with 8 megs anyway. The xlib package should update your /etc/ld.so.conf to include the line "/usr/X11R6/lib"; if it doesn't, use ae or one of the other small editors to do it. -- G.
