I made it work by using libc5, xpm and xlib from the bo distribution (I'm using potato) see:
ftp://archive.debian.org/debian-archive Use alien to convert them to .tgz, and put them into their own directory, e.g. /usr/local/oldlibs. They take up about 2.5MB. You'll need to resymlink libxmu and libice. Then use LD_LIBRARY_PATH to use those libraries: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/oldlibs/lib:/usr/local/oldlibs/usr/X11R6/lib ./nscal Using libc5 and xpm4 in potato would segfault for me, but using the older versions works for nscal 6.1 > Hi all, > > New problem with not only a proprietry app, but a old one. > > Netscape calendar client doiesn't want to play with Debian.
