why have there been so many of these reports? Is it Redhat?

??? maybe your system is libc5, and not glibc.

:)RL
Netscape, I find, doesn't manage well at all. Java 1.1.7v1a
works very well on Linux, but I can only speak for Slackware's version.
Truly, my experience is that it IS trivial to install: just follow the
directions in the README.linux file: especially the part about getting
the right version glibc/libc5.
try again with a fresh Linux install, maybe? good luck.
