I was getting the same undefined symbol.  Folowing this thread, I picked up
libc.so.5.2.18 from Redhat, and it turned that message into a bus error.
Guess I'll seek out 5.3.12 and give that a whirl.  I'd sure like to get
that Linux appletviewer running (in the absense of a native FreeBSD
version.)

By the way, is there any way to do some reasonable diagnosis from core
dumps from Linux ELF binaries (assuming they've got debug info, etc)?  As
new as ELF support is, I think I know the answer, but just in case my guess
is wrong...

Thanks,
