As it's a dynamically linked binary, it's bound to stop working at some point. But worse: the binary is 32-bit only, so it won't run on my 64-bit Linux install (which is probably what most people have nowadays)...

Please provide source code!

The program uses old gtk 2.0 libraries (Gnome 2.x) while modern distros uses 3.0 (Gnome 3.x), you should copy libraries files needed by this program and copy manually in your distro (/usr/share/bin or the very same folder of the program itself, I suppose you only need a few files for example "libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0"), gtk3 is compatible with 2.0 versions but some programs are very picky and forces you using that versions, so placing those libraries in the same location will make the program happy.

I hope this post helps you

It seems to link to 32-bit libs... I'm on 64-bit. When I try to let it link to that lib (which I have in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/), I get the error that it doesn't expect 64-bit libs: /ViewMSX-Linux: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
