It will not even fire up on my linux machine.  I keep getting "segmentation
faults."  My understanding is that is because of the missing, old
dependencies.  I don't think it has anything to do with using ip addresses
vs. FQDNs.

I would not mind installing the required, old packages if (1) I knew what
they were, and (2) they would not break anything else that runs on the
machine.  From experience, I suspect #2 is not a reasonable expectation.
