Hi Torsten, you wrote on: 16 Jan 99 at 09:28 (received 17.01.99) about : _Re: Netscape4.5 cannot find libraries_
I also have serious trouble with Netscape 4.5 (from ftp.netscape.com, only version available for Linux). I run the kernel 2.0.34 >First try installing the xlib6 and xpm4.7 packages from the oldlibs >section. Those packages are installed on my machine. >If you still got problems, please check if /etc/ld.so.conf >contains at least the following lines: > >/lib >/usr/X11R6/lib >/usr/lib/libc5-compat >/lib/libc5-compat > >If you still got any problems, please ask us again. My /etc/ld.so.conf looks like this: /lib /usr/lib/tkstep /usr/X11R6/lib/Xaw3d /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/lib/libc5-compat /lib/libc5-compat ldd netscape gives me the following (ran ldconfig several times as root) libXt.so.6 => not found libSM.so.6 => not found libICE.so.6 => not found libXmu.so.6 => not found libXpm.so.4 => not found libXext.so.6 => not found libX11.so.6 => not found libdl.so.1 => /lib/libdl.so.1 (0x4000a000) libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 (0x4000d000) libg++.so.27 => /lib/libg++.so.27 (0x400cb000) libstdc++.so.27 => /lib/libstdc++.so.27 (0x40103000) libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x40140000) libstdc++.so.2.7.2 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.7.2 (0x40149000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x40186000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4019f000) ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40244000) The first missing libs (did not check all of them) are located in /usr/ X11R6/lib. Since I am a linux-newbie, I may have messed with the system in earlier tries to get netscape running. I copied some libs, made soft- links, etc. but to the best of my knowledge, I un-did all this again. My previous attempts caused netscape to find all libraries, but abort on startup with message "segmentation fault" :-( Shall I de-install and re-install some components (dselect, apt-get)? Kind regards Frederick
