The problem is that the setup program is finding the xlib6g libs there, which causes it a problem since it needs the regular xlib6 libs. Renaming the directory moves the xlib6g stuff completely out of ld.so's path. This will, of course, break running new X stuff until the directory is put back, but it allows the setup program to find the correct libraries in /usr/lib/libc5-compat -- Scott K.
