Is there an intent to distribute a Linux-x86_64 binary?

Dear lacos,
whatever has happened, I'm not able to recover the X Error. Sorry.

I've removed the nedit-5.5_CVS20090127-11.23.un.x86_64.rpm, reset all
language settings back to UTF8 only - no Error. I've deleted nedit.rc
because there were none before - but no Error occurs.
Running XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 ./nedit has no effect, now.
*Absolutely magic to me.*

Then I installed nedit-5.5-24.2 rpm from openSuSE and got X Error but
without any influence on running explicitly your executable.
The openSuSE nedit-5.5-24.2.rpm is obviously buggy.

Now I've reinstalled nedit-5.5_CVS20090127-11.23.un.x86_64.rpm.
This one and yours are running both without any Error, but with
different version numbers in nedit.rc, as a matter of course.
From that I would state that your binary is OK.

The only thing I've been aware is that I couldn't drop into your archive
(nedit-5.5-Linux-x86_64.tar.bz2) via Konquerror for easy extraction
nedit and nc, owner in archive is given as lacos:users. But anyway, the
archive could be opened via Ark and the files were extracted without
any error message. From that I would guess that something happened on
download I didn't noticed during extraction on the first try.
This may be not a sufficient explanation but it seems to me eminently
reasonable because I'm the only one that have had a problem with your
binaries till now.

If I can do anything else for you don't hesitate to ask again.
Bye
