-then you are trying to run rview with libXp.so.6 64 bit version, and rview doesn't work with it. rview is a deprecated application and, as such, one should not expect any future workaround for this problem. You can, however, run rview in 64 bits system, if you install the libXp.so.6 32 bits version. The following text will showcase how to do that in Ubuntu 64 bits (13.10) (previous versions should be even easier, as you shall already have the repository pointing to the library).

+ 1. add repository for 32-bit systems (optional, only necessary in more recent OS where ia32-libs is not available by default, e.g. Ubuntu 64 bits 13.10 or higher):
 {{{
 $ sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

+ 2. install `ia32-libs`:
 {{{
 $ sudo apt-get update
 $ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
 }}}
- (this will install +80MB of 32bit libraries, including libXp.so.6)
+ (this will install libXp.so.6, among other 32-bit libraries)
 
 rview works, now, but if not, you can link the 32 bit library (/usr/lib32) to /usr/lib.
