I've uploaded an x86_64 rpm here [1], the srpm is here [2]. To reproduce 
the problem, first download the foil gometry [3], then run xfoil from a 
terminal, and type

load Naca63412.dat

and at the following "Enter airfoil name" prompt, type

naca63412

Upon pressing enter, the Xplot11 window should open, showing the 
cross-section of the foil.

The Xlib code for the plotting window is in plotlib/Xwin.c in the xfoil 
source tarball.

Thanks!

Sandro
