I take this to mean that ELF binaries no longer need ld.so, but how do I get my libXpm.so.4.6 to load and override the definitions in the other so's? Nevermind. It just didn't register that the script posted earlier was for csh so I wasn't exporting the shell variables. Another problem is that if you are running libc.5.4 you need to go get yourself a copy of libc.so.5.2.18 and load that. Get Debian's, using RedHat's binary kills network support. Now at least I can run the mail reader. I'm not loading Xpm 4.6 right now because I don't know how to load more than one library (do I have to link them both into the same library or will a colon-separated list be accepted in LD_PRELOAD? How do I know if I succeed? What's the meaning of life?). What dies if I use libXpm 4.7 -- I haven't noticed anything crashing yet. The only thing I haven't gotten working yet is SMTP transfer of outbound mail. It says the host refuses connection for some reason. I don't use java (hate coffee in fact) but I fired up Collabra and it is doing quite well. One bummer is that there is currently no planned support for NetScape Conference under Linux and BSDI, only the commercial UNIX get it. -- Brian S. Julin

Netscape 4.0b2 out, any success?
Just wondering if any Debian users have tried the new Netscape Communicator beta, released a couple of days ago. There's a thread on comp.os.linux.development.apps discussing problems with hangs bus errors people have been having. I can't get the newsreader function to work because the program crashes, but have yet to play around with libraries in hopes of a fix. There's some disagreement about whether the fixes that work for NS 3 work for the new beta. -- David Sewell * [EMAIL PROTECTED] | If all things should become Dep't of Geosciences, Univ. of Arizona| become smoke, then perception WWW: http://packrat.aml.arizona.edu/~dsew/ | would be by the nostrils. | --Heraclitus -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Netscape 4.0b2 out, any success?
From what I've seen with it in Win95, it crashes a lot too ... so I wouldn't doubt it would have problems under Linux too. Tried it with MALLOC_CHECK_=0, only got one bus error. The newsreader was working fine for me. I had to disable java, or it give me buss error and crash every time it hit webpage with java.

Re: Netscape 4.0b2 out, any success?
I was getting bus errors with the most recent version of Netscape 3.0 until I turned off Java. When I installed Communicator Beta 2, it may have kept Java turned off, I don't know. I got a bus error within the first few seconds of using it, but I've used it for about 5 hours after that with no problem. So those bus error problems are not isolated to Communicator beta 2, that's my point!
