Every executable that requires the 2.1 classic libraries will need to
be relinked before you can use them with the new X libraries (you can continue
to use them of course, it is just that they will use the old libraries). I am
not completely aware of the situation with libXview, but my guess is that it
is designed to be run with the libX*2.1 libraries.
At some point in the near future, a Xview3L3 is released that links to
libX*.so.3.0 instead of 2.1. With a little luck, it will also be a DLL
jumptable library as well.
