    It's probably not broken. It's just so old that the binary is linked
    against a very old version of libc (libc5). Not having this lib installed
    causes a somewhat misleading error message when one tries to execute the
    binary. Some of the modern distributions might still have a compatibility
    package for libc5 but it's probably not installed by default.

    Anyway, I would recommend installing a newer version of xfbb. There are
    binary packages available as people have already pointed out.

    This is becoming a FAQ. I think Jean-Paul should do himself a favor and
    remove the old binary packages from his web site... :)
