Netscape on Sparc
This newbie is having problems installing Netscape on a Sparc20. I've downloaded and dpkg'd the 2 .deb files netscape-common*.deb and netscape-navigator*.deb, but it's not working. There are evidentally issues with Netscape for Sparc. Can anyone kind of give me the big picture on getting it going? I'm not into any heavy duty compiling yet so just a general overview of the main issues might point me in the right direction. Thanks. - Mark Mohrmann Video Broadcast Technician Lyndon State College Lyndonville, Vt. [EMAIL PROTECTED]

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.

The other option is SunOS emulation. 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.

Regards, Volker The current mozilla package in potato (version M11) runs pretty well, but if you want the commercial netscape, you will have to build the netscape package from slink on sparc. -- ---===-=-==-=---==-=-- / Ben Collins -- ...on that fantastic voyage... -- Debian GNU/Linux \ ` [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED]' `---=--===-=-=-=-===-==---=--=---'
Netscape for Sparc Debian Linux?
Where to find? I want to know the exact location of ftp.debian.org or ftp.netscape.com, because I searched there and cannot find. Thanks, Paulo Henrique
