Additional info: This is a new install of FC5 on a x86_64 so I do not know if previous versions worked with this architecture.
I wrongly assumed that all the issues with dynamic linking of paw on 64 bit architectures were fixed by the latest debian patches. Kevin (the cernlib debian maintainer) corrected me, so now the pawX11 used as default is linked statically against the cernlib. It is fixed in cernlib-2005-21, thanks for the report.
