Hello after some people telling that the new version of netscape (version 4.01 beta 5) has quite a stable status, I took the time for a download of 9MB. But I can't follow these statements. Netscape crashes every minute twice with a bus error. The configuration I have is a debian 1.2.xx system with: Winona:~:1> ldd /usr/local/netscape/netscape libXt.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 libXmu.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so.6 libXpm.so.4 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4 libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 libdl.so.1 => /lib/libdl.so.1 libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 libg++.so.27 => /usr/lib/libg++.so.27 libstdc++.so.27 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.27 libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 Winona:~:1> ls -al `ldd /usr/local/netscape/netscape.bin | cut '-d>' -f 2` |cut --bytes=56- /lib/libc.so.5 -> libc.so.5.4.23* /lib/libdl.so.1 -> libdl.so.1.8.10* /lib/libm.so.5 -> libm.so.5.0.8* /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 -> libICE.so.6.0* /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 -> libSM.so.6.0* /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 -> libX11.so.6.1* /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 -> libXext.so.6.1* /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so.6 -> libXmu.so.6.0* /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4 -> libXpm.so.4.7* /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 -> libXt.so.6.0* /usr/lib/libg++.so.27 -> libg++.so.27.2.1* /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.27 -> libstdc++.so.27.2.1* Winona:~:1> I tried the old workaround of the libXpm problem that I still had to use with 4.0b5, but with rather the same results. Starting netscape and the first click on lower right icon for opening a mail box makes a new window appear with an immediately crash afterwards. So what special versions of libs are you using??
