Why not just install the Debian package(s) for 4.76 (assuming you are running potato or later). This work fine for me. IIRC the "bus error" is avoided by the wrapper script which is contained in the Debian package installation. On Mon, Jan 22, 2001 at 08:12:22AM -0500, Howell Caton wrote: > > A

As a complete newbie, I had to install linux 2.2 several times before I got all the kinks worked out. Each time I downloaded netscape 2.76 from ftp.netscape.com. I'd get the error message "libstdc++=libc6.1-1.so.2 not available". I solved that by linking it to libstdc++=libc6.1-2.so.3, which is

Ok, I removed the .netscape directory and now the script in /usr/bin/X11/netscape works fine. (This seems to start v4.05) This is when I get the "Aborted." error message. Now if I type /usr/local/netscape/netscape I still get the bus error. I wonder if anyone else is having problems with v4.5
