 Some missing symlinks will stop Netscape from starting properly,
 with a bus error or segfault.

Now thats actually makes some sense. When I orignially installed Linux I
had something goes wrong and some important links were not made. I
sometimes still get these messages popping up and I manage to create the
symlinks to the nessecary files. However everything runs right in the
mean time. I was hoping by upgrading the system I would get rid of most
of these problems but I have picked them up. Now that I have learn't
more about Linux I am able to patch them as they come up. ;)

Not a problem I will do a ldd and see what links are missing. If that
doesn't help then I will get back to you.

Sometimes I just need to be pointed in the right direction. ;)

Thanks,

Netscape 3.04 Bus Error

1998-01-20 Thread Robert Moody
Hi there,

I was wondering if any of you have come across Netscape 3.04 exiting
with a Bus error. It is not a critical problem just every now and again
it decides to exit for me.

Thanks,

Sure.  Netscrape is not particularly well-written software.  It
crashes fairly often, under Linux or Windows or whatever.

Happens here too, especially while I started into hamm, but seemed to get
better as I installed more hamm packages (still don't have all the latest 
stuff though).  For example, the java script at the four week archive at
  http://www.unitedmedia.com/comics/peanuts/
(ok, I just tried it with js on and it worked, *shrug*)

likes to crash netscape on me.  Also, certain menu options like to
disappear (e.g. copy link location with the right mouse button just
disappeared).  It's a good incentive for a project like (dang it... 
browser crashed) mnemonic to mature:
  http://oloon.student.utwente.nl/~mnemonic/

Enough of my complaining.  Netscape gets the job done even if it's a
poorly designed, bloated, memory/color hog.

Brandon

P.S. I hope everyone has looked at the latest from www.distributed.net.
They are working on the des project and are only expecting to take several
weeks on this one.

Not the infamous xlibc bug again! :)

The path is /usr/i486-linuxlibc1/lib/X11. It needs links from there to
the follow files in the libc6 X11R6 libraries.
