netscape yet again

Well, I tried using the wrapper method to run netscape 408 on my system. I grabbed a complete set of oldlibs from linuxppc R4, hacked ld.so.1, and created a wrapper to set the hacked library path. I then installed 4.08 using ns-install from the tarball. I get the following: $ netscape &
