Installing Xfree86 in debian Linux

[BALAJI VENKAT]

Sirs,

Can you please help me in installing xfree86 in my linux system. I have
taken the binaries xfree86 version 3.3.

My problem is as follows

1. I already took one xfree86 v3.3 from a ftp site and installed it when i
ran startx i got an error message as follows /usr/X11R6/bin/startx: line
66: 157 segmentation fault xinit $clientargs -- $serverargs

Hence i get a feeling that i am loading a wrong binary of xfree86 ( ie i
dont know if i have to take a.out binary or whatever ).

Can you please advise what binaries to take and from where so that i can
have xfree86 running in my machine. My machine is a 586 machine.
Please advise.

Thanks
Balaji Venkat

Where did you find the binaries?

Was it the official debianpackages from ftp.debian.org (or a mirror
thereoff), or was it a package from Xfree86 themself ftp.xfree86.og
(?) (or a mirror)
