This means that your version of Fedora is too old to use the provided
xcrysden binaries - the glibc you have is three release versions behind
what this xcrysden expects (and glibc is a very fundamental library,
used by almost everything on your system, so updating it may be not
trivial)
Either get the xcrysden sources and compile it yourself (you may have to
install some "devel" packages to do this, but otherwise it is quite
straightforward). Or try one of the older releases (1.5.53 could be old
enough for the semishared version to run on Fedora 16) - and risk to
encounter any or all of the problems already fixed in 1.5.60 ... 

Hope this helps
Martin
