The NYT publishes its puzzles in Across Lite format, and there's a
proprietary app (acrossl) which runs on Linux. Unfortunately it's
getting really old and is binary-only. It worked under F11 but now the
app gets a segfault on my netbook (though oddly it works fine on my
64-bit desktop, also on F12).

I downloaded http://www.nytimes.com/downloads/acllinux.smotif.tar.gz

[sam@nc10 acl]$ ./acrossl
bash: ./acrossl: /lib/ld-linux.so.1: bad ELF interpreter: No such file
or directory
[sam@nc10 acl]$ sudo ln -s /lib/ld-linux.so.2 /lib/ld-linux.so.1
[sam@nc10 acl]$ ./acrossl
./acrossl: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.5: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory
[sam@nc10 acl]$ sudo ln -s /lib/libc.so.6 /lib/libc.so.5
[sam@nc10 acl]$ ./acrossl
./acrossl: error while loading shared libraries: libXpm.so.4: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory
[sam@nc10 acl]$ sudo yum install libXpm
[sam@nc10 acl]$ ./acrossl
./acrossl: error while loading shared libraries: libg++.so.27: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory

... that's unresolvable - I have no idea where to get libg++.so.27 or
anything close to it.

So I switched to: http://www.nytimes.com/downloads/acllinux.dmotif.tar.gz

[sam@nc10 acl]$ ./acrossl
./acrossl: error while loading shared libraries: libXm.so.2.0: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory
[sam@nc10 acl]$ sudo yum install lesstif-devel
[sam@nc10 acl]$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libXm.so.2 /usr/lib/libXm.so.2.0
[sam@nc10 acl]$ ./acrossl
./acrossl: error while loading shared libraries: libg++.so.27: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory

So whatever I try, I get to that unresolvable libg++ dependency - so I
think you are bang out of luck :o(

This is a completely different error from what I'm reporting. You're
getting this because a library is missing. This has been that way for
the last several releases of Fedora and I've always managed to resolve
it by installing a compatibility library. In fact, to emphasize what I
thought was clear already, the acrossl binary has no missing components.
Here it is:

$ ldd /usr/local/bin/acrossl

The trouble is, on 32-bit F12 it segfaults and on 64-bit F12 it works.
Note that it's a 32-bit binary.

Mmmm... I think my point, seeing as I was starting from a clean 32bit
Fedora installation is that there are multiple points where the
compatibility libraries no longer exist. My example would be libc.so.5
which I cheated by symlinking to libc.so.6 - that's not a particularly
valid thing to do.

What I don't understand is where the version you have comes from. The
README file I got with the version I downloaded clearly states that it
is linked against libg++.so.27 - but I have no such library or
anything close - I'd be curious if you do...

[sam@nc10 acl]$ cat README | grep -B11 -A3 libg++
The program is dynamically linked to the following libraries which
must exist in a path searched by the loader in order to run the program:

libXt.so.6 (X11R6 tested with 6.0 libraries)
libXext.so.6
libX11.so.6
libc.so.5 (tested with 5.2.18)
libSM.so.6
libICE.so.6

libXpm.so.4 (tested with 4.7)
libg++.so.27 (tested with 27.1.0 which is actually 2.7.1.0)
libstdc++.so.27 "
libm.so.5 (tested with 5.0.5)
