Netscape and libXt.so.6
Could anyone help me out with this problem? I installed Netscape Navigator 4.06 (base install, not Communicator) on Debian 2.0 (kernel 2.0.34) in /usr/local/netscape according to Netscape's installation instructions. I try to run the executable but I get the message: /usr/local/netscape/netscape : can not load libXt.so.6. The library libXt.so.6 is on my system (in /usr/X11R6/lib) and the path is referenced in /etc/ld.co.conf. I tried running /sbin/ldconfig -v |less and there were no errors, however, libXt.so.6 points to libXt.so.6.0. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Mike Dahlberg

Therefore you would need to install libc5 package along with libc5-based X libaries (xlib6 package, in addition to xlib6g). You may need also to install xpm4.7 package. Better yet, use dselect to install netscape4 package (installer of the archive you downloaded from netscape ftp site).

Re: Netscape and libXt.so.6
to have netscape 4 running u need to have the libraries as mentioned in http://cgi.debian.org/www-master/debian.org/Packages/stable/web/netscape4.html or ...let me just mention it, the ff. libs along with their corresponding depndecies : motifnls in section X11 ldso in section base ilbc5 in section oldlibs libc6 in section base libg++27 in section oldlibs xlib6 in section oldlibs xpm4.7 in section oldlibs mime-support in section net imagemagick in section graphics :) chad *** REPLY PARTITION *** On 10/5/98, at 11:36 PM, Michael Dahlberg wrote: Could anyone help me out with this problem?

Thanks Mike Dahlberg The other responses talk about getting the old libc5 packages on your system in order to use the binary you have, which is ok. However, it may actually be easier to get the libc6 (glibc) version of Netscape from ftp.netscape.com. I'm running that libc6 version of NS 4.06 right now. -- Ed C.
