Cool, thanks.  I'm running a Mandrake 6.0 distribution, if that matters.

Gotcha. I did that and...it found the two missing libraries ( libX11.so.6  & 
libXext.so.6) in /usr/X11R6/lib/, which is IN /etc/ld.so.conf (the first line).
What's up with that? Not that I'm dying to play quake.x11, but I'm curious at
