Scott & Teus, I have a little insight on my netscape crash. I have a solution, even though I haven't tracked down the problem yet. After trying everything else I backed up my system and re-installed the latest version of redhat--which I obtained from their ftp site. I tried this first without re-formating my linux partition -- and netscape still crashed! So I totally reformatted my linux partition--wiping out every file, and re-installed from scratch. It worked! Netscape ran. Then I started replacing my work files. I replaced my .bashrc and netscape core dumped. So I commented out everything in .bashrc and netscape ran again. The culprit in the file was my LD_LIBRARY_PATH. If it's empty, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ netscape runs. If it contains the path /usr/X11/lib (or it may have been /usr/lib/X11, I'm at work now and can't check it), then I get the seg fault in rindex(). The only thing on my system is the software from the redhat distribution--I have no 3rd party libraries installed. So this does look like a problem with the latest redhat distribution. I haven't tracked down which library in the /usr/X11/lib is causing the error--I ran out of time, but I thought I'd share this with you, in the hopes you find it useful. -Shawn Dawson ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
