wildcard, you're being very vague.  Are you trying to load something from the mydsl repository or some file that some one gave you?  What is the file supposed to be?  What is the file extension (tar, tgz, tar.gz)?  Is it source code or an executable?  Were you trying to run this uncompressed thing when the error occured, or did it happen in emelfm?  Did you single click or double click on the file?

I'll answer as many of those as I know for sure.  Okay, I've already gotten the file untarred, I was just typing the file name in wrong *is embarassed*.  Now, the file is an original zelda clone that I'm beta testing for Armageddon Games.  It's an excutable.  It happened in emelfm and I've tried single clicking and clicking myDSL, waited for the blink and nothing was loaded.  I tried double-clicking, and I get the libXxf86vm.so.1 error.  I've learned that this file is in someway related to Xfree86.  I downloaded the beta test of the Xfree86 and I'm about to try that, I don't mind the possible system corruption for am well learned in the art of hardware.  It's just learning Linux and the way it works and such is what gets me.  Sorry for being so vauge.

But nobody ever hears him,
Or the sound he appears to make,
And he never seems to notice,
But the fool on the hill . . .
Nobody seems to like him
They can tell what he wants to do.
And he never shows his feelings,
