First, let me say that I am extremely pleased that someone - anyone - is
trying to run my demos. Second, about the XFreePixmap business, I have
definitely encountered the same problem, but never learned what causes it.
Somehow I managed to get everything to run by repeatedly recompiling with
slight changes in the setup file. It's something about the Mesa libraries.

Perhaps you will have better luck with the next release, which should be
out within a few days. sr
