ldd <netscape-binary>
For 4.72 there are three versions):
Supported/Linux 2.0:
This is a libc5 version and it doesn't work with the Java Plug-In.
Supported/Linux 2.2 (glibc):
This is a glibc-2.0 version and the Plug-In should work with it.
Unsupported/Linux:
Glibc-2.1 version. Java Plug-In works.
This version is not supported by Netscape. IMO that doesn't mean
much to the normal user. It sometimes crashes or hangs but the
supported versions do that too.
