 I suspect the wrong shell is loaded, but I haven't a clue how to
 correct the problem.  Anyone else fixed this problem?

Established bug in bash-2.00.  The solution would be to upgrade to
bash-2.01, but that is a libc6-based release available only in unstable,
so it will be a little more trouble.  Check the archive for postings on
installing libc6 and the new libraries required for bash.

Yikes! After my fiasco, I'd be inclined to get the bash sources and
compile myself with libc5 on 1.3.1.

You are using bash-2.00, right?  :)  Upgrade to bash-2.01 in unstable,
that should fix the problem.  :)  Is it a bug in bash-2.00 or Netscape?
I have no idea.  Perhaps bash-2.00 was too strict.  :)

My best suggestion is to pull the source package from the debian archives
and build it from there.  It shouldn't be too much trouble to do so.

Netscape plugins don't work

1997-08-04 Thread James D. Freels
Sorry if this is a FAQ, but I haven't seen it yet in this news group.

It seems that starting with v 4 of Netscape, the plugins no longer
work.  For example, when clicking a .pdf file, the script will no load
up acroread, or a .ram will not load up realaudio.  I must fall back
to version 3.01 in order for this to work.  I am currently using the v
4.02b7.

A dialog box appears with an error message

sh: -c: line 1: missing closing ')' for arithmetic expression
sh: -c: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token ';'
sh: -c: line 1: '((acroread file.pdf);rm file.pdf)'

I suspect the wrong shell is loaded, but I haven't a clue how to
correct the problem.  Anyone else fixed this problem?
