    Try installing (if you haven't already) the compatibility libs...

    I worry about my child and the Internet all the time, even though she's
    too young to have logged on yet. Here's what I worry about. I worry
    that 10 or 15 years from now, she will come to me and say "Daddy, where
    were you when they took freedom of the press away from the Internet?"

    Unix IS user friendly... It's just selective about who its friends are.
