                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Do you have this file (/lib/ld-linux.so.1)? This is the dynamic linker for
binaries linked against libc5, which may be an optional package in newer
versions of Red Hat. (Most people installing Red Hat from scratch don't need
it at all--even netscape4 is compiled against libc6 these days.) If you
don't have it, install the package ld.so and the problem would probably go
away. 

You probably want to take this opportunities to recompile all your old
programs against the distribution's default libraries, though.
