I found a libc5 binary and converted from rpm to targz with rpm2targz.

http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl/rosegarden-2.0.1-1.i386.libc5.tar.gz

Ron, please test it.  I don't have sound set up in BL3 and it started to 
load but complained about the lack of fonts and the lack of a sequencer.
(The BL2 version did not get that far, complained about libX11).  Lack of 
fonts only affects the notation editor.  How would we fix this, in 
fonts.alias?  (Steven, please help.  You can try to run the program to see 
a list of fonts it can't find).

I renamed the BL2 version:
http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl/rosegarden-2.1-1.i386.libc6.tar.gz

./bl/blfiles.htm describes the files briefly, with installation 
instructions.

Needs libXaw Xext Xmu Xt X11 SM ICE and libc5 (or libc6).
Install icewm and Steven's X libs package for BL3 for these libraries.

Other compiled versions (later code?) needed libXaw3d.

I also posted source code for rosegarden-2.1.p14.tar.gz, the newest I 
could find for Rosegarden2.

If this is newer and contains more features, someone might want to compile 
it for BL3.  What does 2.1-1 mean - first release of 2.1?
