These are the wrong binaries? copied Xinstall.sh (from the common subdirectory) to a temporary directory under root (/root/jrmtemp). ran: sh Xinstall.sh -check from that temporary directory. Got an error message saying I needed "extract" or "extract.exe" in the same directory. found "extract" in one of the "linux-ix86-glibc2x" subdirectories (I think it was 23, I see now that "extract" is a different size in each of the subdirectories.) reran: sh Xinstall.sh -check got the a.out message, called for help.
