Actually, I wanted the 128 bit version, and I couldn't find it as an RPM. Your
suggestions worked, and netscape 4.7 runs now. But  ...

when I launch the netscape email program, it starts up, it lets me read existing
messages, it lets me send messages, but if I try to check for new messages,
it vanishes and takes netscape with it. Has this happened to anyone else?
thanks,

Hi,
I wanted to upgrade from communicator 4.6 to 4.7. The install went fine, but
when I try to run it I get the following message:


program is ver 4.7 but resources are 4.6

there may be an inappropriate Netscape file installed in the apps-default
directory.

Also, check these environment variables

$XAPPLRESDIR
$XFILESEARCHPATH
$XUSERFILESEARCHPATH

I can't find that directory or those variables. I didn't remove 4.6 first; maybe
I should have. Does anyone know where mandrake puts these things, and
maybe how to fix my problem?
thanks
