You are using Netscape 4.05, not 4.5 (which is a preview release - beta). 4.05 was not compiled with the libc6 libraries, and takes some kludging to get it to work. Netscape 4.5 preview release 1 is available in compiled form for both libc5 and libc6 libraries. -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
