Netscape - libstdc++

2000-10-01 Thread ObeseWhale 
It seems as if I can't install netscape 4.75 on my Potato box because the
version of libstdc++ that comes with debian is too high.  I get a dependency
error when trying to run netscape.  Has anyone had a similar problem, or
better yet, a solution?

Worse yet, no problem at all :)

The Debianized netscape packages depend on libstdc++2.9-glibc2.1, which
is in oldlibs on woody (probably on potato as well?). It seems to
coexist peacefully with newer libstdc++ packages.

well I did apt-get install netscape4 off of the cd, and it installed
netscape-base, yet I'm getting the same error.  Do I need more?

Do apt-get install netscape-smotif-475 and throw away your netscape
tarball.
