Ok....I changed to Starnet, but now I have a new problem.
When I start civclient I get the following error:
1:using fallback resources - which is OK
1: Your getpwuid call failed. Please report this.
Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset

In X-Win32 the graphics appear and it says:
......Now.. Go give'em hell!
Cannot find your home directory

We seem to be getting closer...also X-Win 32 reads 
THIS IS A BETA RELEASE
Freeciv 1.8 will be released second
Week of March at http://www.freeciv.org

Do I have the wrong version?

You can't use MI/X for running Freeciv.

Unfortunately it's reportedly only an X11R5 server.

Try startnet (http://www.starnet.com I think).
