DOOM was compiled using the old a.out format against these a.out
shared libraries.  You need to have the appropriate libc and libvga
libraries available to run doom.

I'm assuming that you have an ELF distribution of Slackware (3.0).  It
_should_ come with these a.out libraries as part of its basic install.
They are probably to be found in one other the other installation disk
series (eg, the `d' series).

Cheers
