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
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.

It seems to be a buffering/blocking bug in esd, according to some postings on linux-kernel. Red Hat comes with a newer esd (0.2.21 or something like that) that doesn't have the problem, while Debian potato is still on esd-0.2.17. You could try esound-0.2.22 from testing and see if it solves the problem. Erik -- J.A.K.

An archive like for i386 under ## 2.4.? deb http://people.debian.org/~bunk/debian potato main deb-src http://people.debian.org/~bunk/debian potato main would be helpful. Perhaps an autobuild could work??? I have to check my randomly occuring crashes on my E250 server. Perhaps 2.4.x series might help. Kind regards Andreas.
Re: Solaris Binaries
HI, I'm using 2.4.3 kernel now and the Solaris emulation is fine. For example: ldd /solaris/bin/ldd libelf.so.1 => /solaris/bin/../lib/libelf.so.1 libc.so.1 => /solaris/bin/../lib/libc.so.1 libdl.so.1 =>/usr/lib/libdl.so.1 ldd /solaris/bin/tar libcmd.so.1 => /usr/lib/libcmd.so.1 libsec.so.1 => /usr/lib/libsec.so.1 libc.so.1 => /usr/lib/libc.so.1 libdl.so.1 =>/usr/lib/libdl.so.1 I configured the solaris simulation using kernel 2.2.17 and I didn't change anything of course I installed new modutils, modconf, mount, fileutils etc. for the 2.4.x kernel. Here's a part of the kernel config: CONFIG_KCORE_ELF=y CONFIG_SPARC32_COMPAT=y CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF32=y CONFIG_BINFMT_AOUT32=y CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF=y CONFIG_BINFMT_MISC=m CONFIG_SUNOS_EMUL=y CONFIG_SOLARIS_EMUL=m ... CONFIG_SUN_PARTITION=y solaris inserted as a module I mounted the solaris partitions: /dev/hda1 on /solaris type ufs (ro,ufstype=sun) /dev/hda4 on /solaris/var type ufs (ro,ufstype=sun) /dev/hda5 on /solaris/usr type ufs (ro,ufstype=sun) /dev/hda8 on /solaris/home type ufs (rw) where: Device FlagStart EndBlocks Id System /dev/hda1 0 152 718202 SunOS root /dev/hda2 u152 707262237+ 3 SunOS swap /dev/hda3 0 8892 42014705 Whole disk /dev/hda4 707 11412050657 SunOS var /dev/hda5 1141 2724747967+ 4 SunOS usr /dev/hda6 2724 8600 2776410 83 Linux native /dev/hda8 8600 88921379708 SunOS home I made the directory: /usr/gnemul/solaris/ and linked the following in the /usr/gnemul/solaris: bin -> /solaris/bin etc -> /solaris/etc lib -> /solaris/lib opt -> /solaris/opt platform -> /solaris/platform sbin -> /solaris/sbin usr -> /solaris/usr var -> /solaris/var Gabor PS. You may need to mount the var partition write enabled too.

Also, to find the other libraries, you need to either set LD_LIBRARY_PATH, or put them in /usr/lib. You can also copy all the Solaris stuff to another directory and chroot to it.
