I saw this error, but that was because I had done something incorrect in the install. Basically, what I had done was move around all of the java support files (these *.jar files) so that they'd appear in the classpath (because when I first did the install, Netscape wouldn't load java and complained that such-and-such a file wasn't in the classpath). I suspect that you did something similar, and that not only does java still not work, but now you've got this error. The fix I found was the following: Make certain that all the *.jar files are in /usr/lib/netscape/java/classes/ (I _hope_ that's the right name; not being at my system at the moment, I'm guessing a bit). This is where the debian netscape4 installer package stuffs them, and should be where the netscape installer put them if you told it to install in /usr/lib/netscape. This gets rid of the errors, but java still doesn't work. To get java working, instead of the symbolic link that the debian package creates, put the following script in /usr/X11R6/bin #!/bin/sh export MOZILLA_HOME=/usr/lib/netscape exec /usr/lib/netscape/netscape (Or I suppose you could define MOZILLA_HOME in your /etc/profile, or even put /usr/lib/netscape in your path) Moving the *.jar files to the proper directory and using this script to do netscape works for me - no errors (well, not any I don't expect) and java works. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
