I presume you are running testing or unstable? As far as I can tell the existing version of Netscape 4.5 for Linux/sparc will not work on either, due to an incompatibility with glibc 2.2.x. Stable (potato) has glibc 2.1.3, which works fine. After learning this, I downgraded my system from testing to stable. Now Netscape Navigator works for me. > There are evidentally "issues" with Netscape for Sparc. Can > anyone kind of give me the big picture on getting it going?

I still don't have that set up (don't have the right SunOS libraries), but it's not a high priority for me now that I have the native Netscape running. Good luck. Kelsey -- Kelsey Jordahl
