Use the libc5 Netscape version. Adam Shand has posted on the debian users mailing lists the steps on how to install it. An addendum: Install also xlib6g. Without it, netscape will do a "segmentation fault". I'm a heavy netscape user running on a Debian Potato system. I let it run for hours on end, turn on java and javascript, run multiple netscape windows and it works really good. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- * clean off all the netscape/navigator/communicator packages from your system (use dpkg --purge until they are all gone). * make sure you have the needed libc5 packages: # apt-get install xpm4.7 libg++27 xlib6g * go to the below url and download the libc5 netscape file: ftp://ftp.netscape.com/pub/communicator/4.6/english/unix/supported /linux20_libc5/professional_edition/ * save it to /tmp/communicator-v46-export.x86-unknown-linux2.0glibc.tar.gz and make sure that it is owned by root: # chown root /tmp/communicator-v46-export.x86-unknown-linux2.0glibc.tar.gz * install the debian netscape installer: # apt-get install netscape4 ------------------------------------------------------------------- regards, = ====== Andre M.
