Who said anything about RPM's? I never use them. I guess all I can do
is elaborate on my setup.
[todd@perl]$ ldd ./netscape

libc is libc.so.5.4.44
libm is libm.so.5.0.9
libstdc++ is libstdc++.so.27.1.4
libg++ is libg++.so.27.1.4
libdl is libdl.so.1.9.9
I start netscape with a simple script:
#!/bin/sh
export MOZILLA_HOME=/usr/local/netscape/communicator
export NPX_PLUGIN_PATH=$MOZILLA_HOME/plugins:~/.netscape/plugins
exec /usr/local/netscape/communicator/netscape "$@" > /dev/console 2>&1
I am currently using communicator 4.06, but 4.05 worked fine as well.
I have not turned off java or javascript. It runs with no problems,
except for the fact that it is a memory pig (it is currently using
28.9% of my 64M of RAM.
