[Frederick L Shope <flshope@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On my original post for my AMD Athlon(TM) XP 2400+ machine, I was
running Ubuntu 12.04. Since then, I installed 14.04, which I most
recently decided to overwrite with Debian 7.7 (because Ubuntu no longer
provides a video driver compatible with my hardware -- but that's
another story). What I wanted to report here, for what it's worth, is
that Chomium won't execute under Debian 7.7 either. I get about the same
error message from a terminal execution as I did from Ubuntu.
