Debian has it, so I think Ubuntu has it, too. They should have the 32-bit version already available as a package: no compilation required.

Do you happen to know what Fractint features -- and compatibility with current Linux distros SciWise would get if he ran the Makefile on that old (23-Aug-2015) tarball? :

Simple answer is, no. Xfractint has a lot of the functionality of Fractint, but doesn't allow changing the window size, rotating the zoom box, color cycling, palette editing...

...

Does the "XFree86-libs" listed as needed in the Read.me in: https://fractint.net/ftp/current/linux/ mean that it's a 32-bit version? <== <==

The 32-bit is referring to the compiler used to make the executable.
