Thanks, this returns the following text:

 [greg@bother quake]$ ldd quake.x11
        libm.so.5 => /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libm.so.5 (0x40012000)
        libX11.so.6 => not found
        libXext.so.6 => not found
        libc.so.5 => /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libc.so.5 (0x4001a000)    

As I mentioned in another msg, after correcting the mouse type (PS2, as you
said), squake runs fine (graphics suck and the downloadable demo doesn't have a
decent deathmatch arena level...but hey, at least it's running).
