Problems installing Netscape in unstable distro
Hi! I usually use Konqueror or Mozilla, but today I was having a lot of problems with no W3C-compliant web sites, and I wondered if using Netscape instead I had a chance to see them a little better. Do you think it could be so, or would they look like as in Mozilla? In case the answer to the second question is maybe you see them better, could you tell me if it would be possible to install it in an unstable version? I've tried and I'm running in dependencies problems all the while. I've tried to install the pacakages it depends, but same problem all over again. Any suggestions?

No, in Netscape 4.xx a webpage might look different than in Mozilla, but in Netscape 6 and Netscape 7, it would look just like Mozilla shows it. Netscape is just a rebranded mozilla, with some stuff like java and flash added to it. The engine of them is gecko, and they both will show a webpage exactly the same. Actually now that I think of it, I remember that Netscape 7 is built on Mozilla 1.0, and probably new mozilla versions do a better job of showing non compliant webpages than mozilla 1.0/Netscape 7 So, if nither Mozilla, nor Konqueror nor Opera shows the page as it should, and telling them to lie about their identity to the website also doesn't work, then IE 5.5 on Wine might be the last soloution.

Do you think it could be so, or would they look like as in Mozilla? netscape-4.x is incredibly crufty and has terrible support for things like style sheets. That having been said, there's at least one Web site I use that only works under it. (I should see if lying about User-Agent helps.)

Re: Problems installing Netscape in unstable distro

Do you think it could be so, or would they look like as in Mozilla? It is a partial solution. In fact there are a lot of pages that only work with older versions of netscape. The problem is the existence of stupid JavaScript programmers that assume that the only existing browser are IE or netscape 4.x. They have to identify the browser, but with a lot of miskates.

I have a mixed instalation (testing/unstable) of Debian and I have netscape 4.x. I have instaled netscape 4 at the begining of the Debian instalation where the selected distribution is 'stable'; then I changed to testing, do you have the corresponding lines of 'stable' in the 'sources.list' file?

Installing Netscape 4 on 2.2r2
I am attempting to install Netscape 4 on 2.2r2, but am having difficulty. When I do 'apt-get install netscape4', a package is installed, as expected. However there does not seem to be an executable instsalled, and in fact the DEB package is only a few hundered K in size -- certainly not the whole of Netscape. A file called 'netscape-remote' does exist however, and running this generates an error message (Cannot connect to display, I think). 'apt-get install communicator' leads to an error message suggest that apt knows about the communicator package, although can't find it, for some reason (and in fact, I can't see it on my three CD set, either).

Re: Installing Netscape 4 on 2.2r2
The apt-get install communicator is the right way, but you need deb ftp://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main non-free in your /etc/apt/sources.list. Then to run it you have to run communicator (running netscape gets you mozilla). And if you run communicator while mozilla is running, you get a new mozilla window instead (it uses /etc/alternatives/communicator instead of running it directly).

Re: eth0 problem after installing netscape
Well, I'm realizing what has happened here. I installed potato on my wife's machine and in the libranet cd it asked for network connection data. I entered my IP address (static IP), dns name servers, gateway, domain, etc.. then when I configured the kernel, I configured it using dhcp. Now, I find that as long as the wife's machine is in windows, everything works fine (because it's using the dhcp connection) but in linux both machines are screwy. I tried using linuxconf (included with the distro) to edit my network configuration, but it doesn't seem to write to the proper file, in short doesn't work. Could someone please tell me how and which file to edit, so I can get her machine using dhcp in linux. Hopefully, this will solve my problem. thanks in advance Dale Morris [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I just did a dist-upgrade and installed netscape 4.76.

installing netscape
I've searched for netscape and install netscape in the archives and I'm not coming up with anything that will help me. I also looked for netscape 6.0.

Could someone give me pointers on how to install a 4.0 version and where to find them? This is just my opinion, bit you should install Mozilla instead of Netscape 6. The mozilla packages were added to potato recently. Do apt-get install mozilla. You can also try the nightly builds - just download the tarball, untar it to some directory, and run it from there. Generally, the nightlies are better than the latest milestone release, and should be better than Netscape 6. Hubert
Re: installing netscape
1) mozilla is virtually indistinguishable from netscape 6 (in fact, early versions of netscape6 installed as mozilla plus a link to the name netscape 2) Netscape 4 is referred to by its minor number--I did a dpkg -l|grep netscape and got ii netscape 4.75-2 Meta package that depends on other packages ii netscape-base- 4.75-2 Popular World-Wide-Web browser software (bas ii netscape-base- 4.75-2 4.75 base support for netscape ii netscape-java- 4.75-2 Netscape Java support for version 4.75 apt-get install netscape should do the trick, IIRC the actual binaries in my case were in the communicator packages: ii communicator 4.75-2 Meta package that depends on other packages ii communicator-b 4.75-2 Communicator base support for version 4.75 ii communicator-s 4.75-2 Netscape Communicator 4.75 (static Motif) There's also the navigator packages if you really don't want all the cruft: I took it all b/c my GF was complaining that I didn't have netscape on my machine (I use konqueror and mozilla) and I just didn't want to be bothered with the issue any more. apt-get install navigator should do the trick 3) It looks as if there is no netscape 6 package ATM--if it's that important to you, submit a wishlist but to the netscape maintainer or wnpp, otherwise, just use mozilla and netscape4.

At that time, you could not distribute binaries of netscape, so the Debian maintainer provided an installer package. For these, you typically have to get the source or binary from the original site and the installer package will then install it conforming Debian policy and do whatever other Debian packages do (track dependencies, set up configuration files, etc.). This is not the same as a virtual package. A virtual package provides functionality that can be satisfied by several real packages. As a matter of fact, netscape provides the virtual package www-browser, but it is not the only one that does. Others that come to mind are: lynx, emacs20, mozilla, w3m, arena, gzilla, chimera2 and links. Note that there is no package called www-browser. Virtual packages need no special handling, dpkg (or dselect, apt-get) will take care of things. Installer packages are usually in non-free (and maybe in contrib).

There are very few virtual packages. That's the only one I've ever run across, and in potato they were able to do away with them for netscape and use full-blown packages. Best way to do it is use dselect. It's not fun to learn but it gives you a nice concise description, including the fact that a package is just an installer. Other than that you can read the descriptions manually in the Packages files that debian uses. For apt these files are kept in /var/state/apt/lists with _Packages at the end of the file name.

Installing Netscape
Hi,
I have installed a new copy of Debian and I can't get Netscape to work. I
have downloaded this file: navigator-v461-export.x86-
unknown-linuxglibc2.0.tar.gz
from this location:
/pub/communicator/english/4.61/unix/supported/linux20_glibc2/navi
gator_standalone
and installed it in /tmp directory (logged in as root).
Then I use apt-get to install the package netscape4.
When I tried to run Netscape from Xterm (logged in as a user not as root) I
get this message:
/usr/lib/netscape/netscape: error in loading shared libraries
libstdc++.so.2.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I checked and I do have the package libstdc++2.9 installed{HYPERLINK

point me in the right direction to solve this?
Please send a reply to me via e-mail.

You've answered your own question. You have libstdc++2.9 installed,
netscape is built against an older version (2.8). Searching the Contents
file (a great thing to have around...check the CD or the FTP site you
got Debian from):
bash-2.02$ zgrep 'libstdc++.so.2.8' Contents-i386.gz
usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.8
oldlibs/libstdc++2.8
usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.8.0
oldlibs/libstdc++2.8
So, you need to install the libstdc++2.8 package in the oldlibs section
to complement your existing libstdc++2.9. If you've got apt setup,
then 'apt-get libstdc++2.8' should do it. Otherwise, go into dselect,
press [S]elect Packages, '/' to search, then type 'libstdc++2.8' and
press enter. Hit '+' to select it, Enter to get out of that menu, and

When I go to ftp.debian.org under the non-free/binary-i386 tree and do 'ls */netscape*' I get -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp371996 Oct 13 18:54 web/netscape-base-406_4.06-2.deb -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp371948 Oct 13 18:54 web/netscape-base-407_4.07-1.deb -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 1119592 Nov 5 18:35 web/netscape-base-45_4.5-1.deb lrwxrwxrwx 1 ftp ftp49 Jan 8 03:04 web/netscape-java-406_4.06-2.deb - ../../binary-all/web/netscape-java-406_4.06-2.deb lrwxrwxrwx 1 ftp ftp49 Jan 8 03:04 web/netscape-java-407_4.07-1.deb - ../../binary-all/web/netscape-java-407_4.07-1.deb lrwxrwxrwx 1 ftp ftp47 Jan 8 03:04 web/netscape-java-45_4.5-1.deb - ../../binary-all/web/netscape-java-45_4.5-1.deb So where is netscape-base-4?

Little problem with installing netscape and star office
Hi, every time I try to start soffice (4.0) or netscape (4.05) I get a message that libXt.so.6 can't be loaded although this file exists on my hdd. So I don't know what to do. Thanx for helping me Jan alias hinkel_stein! PS: Hope you enjoyed my English.
Re: Little problem with installing netscape and star office
Do a `dpkg -S libXt.so.6` -- does xlib6g and/or xlib6 show up? You should probably install both to keep compatibility in case either program depends on the older xlib6 package contents and also to make sure newer programs dependent upon the xlib6g contents will be able to find it. Hope that helps, Alan Hi, every time I try to start soffice (4.0) or netscape (4.05) I get a message that libXt.so.6 can't be loaded although this file exists on my hdd. So I don't know what to do.

Installing netscape
Hi all, As a new user I have managed to install Debian 2 with relatively little fuss. The only problem I have struck is installing netscape navigator 4.5. When I try an run this program it fails with the message: can't load library 'libXt.so.6' running ldconfig -v shows that a link for this exists. Why can't netscape find this library? What have I missed. I do have X installed with quite a few applications running which use shared libraries. Regards ...
Problems when installing netscape 4.05 (bo) debs on a bo system.

Installing netscape 3.04
I downloaded the Netscape-3.04 installer from http://cgi.debian.org/www-master/debian.org/Packages/unstable/web/netscape3.html The download was transparent, that is, my current netscape (3.01) did not ask me where to put it. I assumed that it was put somewhere where dselect would find it. I then got the Netscape 3.04 tar file from ftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/archive. (The link on the Debian 3.04 download page is out of date.) I put the tar.gz file in /tmp, assuming that the Debian installation would be similar to what it was for 3.01. I next tried dselect/Install, but the package was not found. What did I do wrong? Thanks and regards Tom Kuiper -- PLEASE DO NOT SEND MAIL TO [EMAIL PROTECTED] The host 'kuiper' is my laptop.

Dselect generally needs a correct Packages file in order to know where to find the debs it is to install (the floppy method being the exception.) I next tried dselect/Install, but the package was not found. What did I do wrong? Easy use of dselect requires a correctly structured archive. If you want to make very specific actions on seperate packages already on your system, just use dpkg yourself, instead of letting dselect do it for you. In this case, locate the netscape.deb installer package, make sure the tarball is in /tmp (or $TMPDIR) and has the correct filename and run dpkg -i netscape3.deb Cheers, Joost PS: there's a netscape4.05 out there as well, in case you're interested. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Installing Netscape
I downloaded Netscape from the netscape site and then installed it using dselect and the Debian installation package. Everytime I try to run Netscape I get a color map error followed by a bus error. It will run with the -mono option but I still get errors and a bunch of the buttons don't have images. What do I need to do to get it working?

How does one make slight modifications to a debian package? What is a debian package? Is it really just a gzipped, tarred file? What are the important components? You can grab the package source and edit it from there. Please DON'T do this, though.

I'll tell you when I upgrade Netscape again! g To give more details: If you don't want to wait for the beta7 package to be distributed, then you have to make the package yourself. (Since the official 3.0 release is coming out next Monday, you might want to wait till next week and do this to the official version.) The procedure is: (1) Get the source code for the netscape installer from debian/rex/source/net/netscape_3.0-beta6-1.tar.gz (2) Unpack it (with 'tar xvfz' for example). The source will end up in a directory called netscape-installer (3) Go to the netscape-installer directory and edit the top of the debian.rules file to : nsdist := netscape-v30b7-export.x86-unknown-linux-elf classes := java_30 plugins := package := netscape version := 3.0-beta7 debian := 1 arch:= i386 (3a) There is a small typo in Line 113 of debian.postinst where '$netscape' has been mispelt as '$netcape$'. You can edit that as well. (4) Put the .tar.gz file you downloaded from Netscape Corp in /tmp (5) do 'make binary'; this is build the debian package and put it in the directory which also as netscape-installer as the subdirectory. (6) Now you can use dpkg on this .deb package. If you messed up, then you might want to rebuild the package with debian := 2 so that dpkg would automatically recognize it as an upgrade. to the messed-up version. I should say that you should not use the beta4 source file from stable/source/net directory. One reason is that beta4 had a plugin library which is no longer distributed. You should in fact remove the library (libnullplugin.so or something like that) from /usr/lib/netscape/plugins if it is there. Good luck! Derek Lee
Re: Installing Netscape with dpkg
I tried to use dpkg to install Netscape the _right_ way, and it expects a netscape 3.0b4 file to be in /tmp; here is what dpkg says when I try dpkg -i using the 1.1 cdrom: You'll need to pick up the 3.0b6 version from ftp.debian.org. Anyway, I looked on the Netscape ftp archive last night and they now have 3.0b5, 3.0b6, and 3.0b7 _only_ on their site, not b4. Dpkg specifically asks for the beta 4 binary; can I get away with using one of the newer binaries? Do I need to tweak anything to get it to install using dpkg? No. You must use a newer installer package with the newer binaries. You can find the newer package as: ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/rex/binary-i386/net/netscape_3.0-beta6-1.deb Brian ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) --- In theory, theory and practice are the same.

There's a version of the netscape .deb (in unstable?) that uses beta6.
(Actually, I installed beta 7 with it, despite all the warnings about not
doing that, and it's working with no problems.)
