Bob,

You need to have the default depth of your X server set to 8 bits.
Gemnpak is not capable of displaying to a truecolor visual.

Check your output from "xdpyinfo" and look for
the default visual ID. You will need to configure your X server to
ensure that this is a pseudocolor 8 bit default visual.
