I have an up2date'd RH Linux 7.2 and have been running Netscape 7.1 for a month or so and it's working well.
I just installed Sun Java J2RE 1.4.2 (RPM j2re1.4.2_01-fcs) and made the required plugins symlink.
When I restarted Netscape, I got the following message:
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_01/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so [libgcc_s.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory]
Sure enough, libgcc_s.so is nowhere to be found on my system. My current gcc packages:
ws> rpm -qa | grep gcc gcc-g77-2.96-112.7.2 gcc-2.96-112.7.2 gcc-c++-2.96-112.7.2 gcc-objc-2.96-112.7.2
Can I update gcc to get J2RE 1.4.2 running with Netscape 7.1 on my RH 7.2 without breaking everything else on my system? Would Mozilla 1.4 fare any better? What other options can I consider?

^^^^^^^^^^^
That plugin apparently was compiled with gcc 3.x and hence will not work on a RH7.x system. As far as I can see, you have two options: - Upgrade to RH8 or higher - Check whether the plugin is also available for the older gcc version
I just checked the RPM and there seems to be a plugin for the older version in there as well: Check whether you can use this:
/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_01/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so
instead of the one you used.
Cheerio,

Unfortunately, the other plugin /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_01/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so causes Netscape 7.1 to fail on startup:
ws> netscape7 & INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: No manager for initializing factory?
System error?:: Success
and Netscape just dies there.
Upgrading to a newer Linux is not an option. I can't believe development at Sun Java / Netscape / Mozilla would get this out of kilter.
