Thank you. I get the same exits as you with failed passwords
and closing windows.
I did this, using navigator instead of communicator. The netscape4
installer seems happy. But I've got a library problem that
I can't figure out. I installed libg++27 and yet this:
# ldd /usr/lib/netscape/netscape
...
libg++.so.27 => not found
libstdc++.so.27 => not found
/etc/ld.so.cache includes their directory /usr/lib/libc5-compat,
ldconfig was run during the install, and they both appear in
/etc/ld.so.cache.
