Hello Mariusz,

it looks like you have downloaded an XFree 3.2 version which was built
to run on a FreeBSD 2.2 system, which uses libc.so.3.0. In order to run
XFree 3.2 on your 2.1.5 system you must download a version that has been
built for the 2.1.x branch instead. This version will then use
libc.so.2.2 instead.
