apt-get install netscape Also works well and get all the depends right. I do agree though that three or four installs are about right for learning. I would suggest that you try to apt-get everything you can things IMHO just work better that way. -- Original Message --

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

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

I got the "bus error" message repeatedly some time ago for absolutely no apparent reason. I moved my ~/.netscape/ directory to .netscape.screwed/ and ran it again, and it gave the "you haven't run netscape before" dialog and set itself up again and worked fine. I never figured out what was cha

What's the fuss about? Just download it yourself and install it. Apart from configuration data, all of netscape resides in /usr/local/netscape, so you can upgrade to newer versions easily. The browser works well, maybe even better than IE5. V4.5 may be the last free browser from netscape, so en
