You can fix this as follows. Start netscape - see that it has an error message about not finding libstd++xxxx where xxxx is something. Look in /compat/linux/usr/lib. There you see libstd++yyyy So do ln -s libstd++yyyy libstd++xxxx and netscape should work. Also, make sure you run a very recent version of FreeBSD stable - there is a problem in linux emulation in older versions. -- Stephen Montgomery-Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.math.missouri.edu/~stephen To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
