Upgrading to the new joebot, crashes server

I have been happily using Joebot 1.6.3 up until now..
We have a Mandrake 7.2 (?) server - rather old but hard to upgrade with other things on it. If I just put the new joebot_i386.so file, at startup, the server crashes with:

L 04/16/2004 - 13:55:01: Server cvar "sv_aim" = "0"
L 04/16/2004 - 13:55:01: Server cvar "pausable" = "0"
L 04/16/2004 - 13:55:01: Server cvar "sv_maxspeed" = "500"
Server IP address 216.173.20.215:27015

(I had done a proper install earlier and had gotten the same message; so I did not try that again!)

any ideas??
