Netscape (Newbie alert)
I'm trying to install Netscape and have run into a small problem. First what I've accomplished so far: 1: downloaded from Netscape - finally found out that I had to rename package to include glibc as part of name before install would work. 2: First time I tried to run got error - can't load libXpm.so.4 - archives told me to load xpm4.7 package 3: next error - can't load libg++.so.27 - archives again - this time load libg++27 package (why weren't 2 and 3 picked up as dependencies by the installer?) 4: Now I'm stuck - I try to run Netscape (from an xterm so I can see the error) and I get back 'Bus error'. Looked through archives, but not much help there, some vague (and very old) info. Can someone please help me get this to run. Next question - (just point me in the right direction on this) autodial - can it be done, if so how. (pon, poff, and wvdial are all working, although I have to adjust permissions for pon since currently it only works from root - don't know about wvdial I only tried it once from root, and it worked). Third (and last for the moment). Is there any way I can get to the virtual terminals (alt-Fx) from inside Xwindow?

Did you install the netscape installer via dselect? 4: Now I'm stuck - I try to run Netscape (from an xterm so I can see the error) and I get back 'Bus error'.

Sounds like the Netscape you have is the libc5 version. You need the glibc version. If you are downloadinbg from Netscape's site you need to get the one under the Unsupported option. That is the glibc version. -- Mike Werner KA8YSD | Where do you want to go today? ICQ# 12934898 | As far from Redmond as possible!
