As Bill says, you need glibc and libpng.  I have to admit I had virtually no 
problems whatsoever getting MOL running, but I'm using Debian and the version 
of MOL + modules I'm using, and my Linux kernel, were all compiled by someone 
else (Ross Vumbaca) so they'd work together nicely.  But then, MOL 0.9.68 is 
the latest version that will work on my machine, so don't feel too bad when 
you do get eventually get up and running.  :)
