Netscape install. Is bash pulling my leg?
Hi there Trying to install Netscape 4.72. I fetch the communicator-v472-export.x86-unknown-linuxglibc2.0.tar.gz from the Netscape ftp-site. put it in its own dir in /home/vitux (mkdir cp foo) untar with tar -xvvzf foo.tar.gz (something like that: a ton of files is unpacked) now when I try to invoke the install-script (I type ns-install at the prompt) it just says bash: command not found I know positively that ns-install is there among the rest of the untarred files, and I am logged in as root. What's wrong? Running Slink, 2.0.36, 486/100, 50M RAM, 1.4 G hd. Regards Vitux -- Death comes to us in various guises, swiftly changing as a baby's mood... Debian GNU/Linux Micro$loth-free Zone

If you want 4.5 you can get it at, http://www.netscape.com/download/archive/client_archive4x.html you can use 'lynx' to download. If you can find the ftp site for the older browsers that would be more convenient. For Hamm I think you want, the communicator 'x86 LINUX 2.0' version, unless you want just the stand alone browser. Copy to /tmp run the 'Netscape4' install program through 'dselect', (read the 'Netscape4' directions first) and that is about it. It has been a year since I installed on Hamm. Hope I got the right version. hth, kent

Depending on whether your Netscape needs libc5 or libc6, you'll need the corresponding version of xpm. -Jay

Re: Netscape install problem
Having just gone through this :) When you download the files from Netscape make sure you download the glibc version. This is the 'unsupported' version. Then try again (using the Debian installer).

Hi All, I've recently switched to Debian from slackware. Tons of problems appear. But I'm not giving it up yet. I'm trying to install netscape 4.5 (non-debian package with manual install). When I try to run netscape it complains Cannot load libXt.so.6. The library is correctly installed beacuse other programs can use it. Same problem with netscape 4.05. Does this need the xcompat package? But the xcompat package is missing! Another Q. If the OffiX originates from xfm, then where is the window where you can put icons that start my favourite programs? I only get the files windows. I also try to understand why gpm is pasting to my screen continuously when i move the mouse and how I can put a tiled color xpm as the root image in X when the great XV package is not included in Debian Thank you very many, if somebody can help! Tom.

Sounds like you grabbed the libc5 version. do: ldd netscape in the directory where netscape lives. If it shows a libc5, go back and get the glibc2 version. how I can put a tiled color xpm as the root image in X when the great XV package is not included in Debian Xv lives in non-free because it is NOT open software. If you use it you are supposed to pay for it. There are many better apps than xv. if you want xv look in the non-free section on an ftp mirror of Debian. apt and/or dselect will help here.

Netscape install was Re: memory usage and Netscape
While we are on the topic, I have had problems using the debian install package to install Netscape 4.05. I copy the .tar.gz file (somethinging like netscape-405-unknown-linux20-export.tar.gz, IIRC), rename it by deleting the export word (so the install package doesn't complain) and do a dpkg -i netsca~2.deb (my debian CD was cut from a DOS/win3.11 system. So shoot me.) and then I get an error message something like illegal seek: ns-install. plus the usual unable to install package messages. It's not as if ns-install isn't there, either, because I untarred and gunziped it by hand and used the self-same script to install it, heretically not using the .deb package. Is there something that's eluding me?

netscape install
I am ready to install netscape on my system, but have a problem. The netscape loader is for version 3.01. ftp.netscape.com only has version 3.04 or the newer communicator 4.0x versions. Version 3.01 is not available. My system is a bo (1.3.1) system.

Clarification: Netscape install probs

The machine running debian has no connection to the Internet, so to transfer files to the Debian box, I have to first download them onto my PowerMac, and then transfer them over my local network. The mac doesn't like the name netscape-v301-export.x86-unknown-linux-elf.tar.gz, and so truncates it to netscape-v301-export.x86-unknow. I transfered the file to the Linux box, and then attempted to run the Debian netscape installer, and got the following message: ERROR: The Netscape archive must be in /tmp under the name: /tmp/netscape-v301-export.x86-unknown-linux-elf.tar.[gz|Z] Do NOT simply rename the archive of another version in order to force it to install with this package. It will not work. Archive files can be found on ftp.netscape.com. dpkg: error processing netscape (--install): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: netscape How can I get around this, short of setting up a modem on the PC, or running a DHCP program (like SurfDoubler, which is a $150 piece of commercial software) on the Mac? Hint: I'm looking for someone who can give me detailed instructions on editing netscape_3.01_1.1.deb's preinstallation script so that however it's checking that the name's been changed is suppressed (since the name is the ONLY part of the original archive that has been changed). all you need to do is rename the file once you have it transferred to the Debian box, the message is just a warning that the package is made for verson 3.01 of Netscape which you got, just transfer the file and use the mv command to rename the archive and make sure it gets put in /tmp on the Debian machine with the full name and everything will be fine and then all you have to do is do a dpkg --configure netscape as long as you didn't remove the partially installed package G'razel the shifty kitty ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://www.aye.net/~kestrel found on Tapestries FurryMUCK OK. I guess I should have been clearer; I HAVE renamed the file, and put it in /tmp. I then run dpkg -i netscape_3.01-4.deb and get the error above. I think that I may have in fact slightly misinterpreted the error at first; it seems to be generated by the *post*installation script. It seems that dpkg is installing whatever supporting files and creating whatever necessary directories and subdirectories, and then must be choking on the tar archive, even though I've renamed it and put it in the proper place. When I try running Netscape from within an X session using fvwm's built-in application menu, nothing happens. When I invoke it from the command line, I get the following error: /usr/bin/X11/netscape: /usr/lib/netscape/netscape: No such file or directory /usr/bin/X11/netscape: exec: /usr/lib/netscape/netscape: cannot execute: No such file or directory Here is the text of the script /usr/lib/netscape/netscape: #!/bin/sh export MALLOC_CHECK_=0 export NPX_PLUGIN_PATH=$HOME/.netscape/plugins:/usr/local/lib/netscape/plugins:/usr/lib/netscape/plugins exec /usr/lib/netscape/netscape $@ If anyone has any ideas about what's going on with the installer, or how I can fix this, please let me know. I did unpack the archive myself at one point by hand (before I found out about the installer package) using gunzip and tar, and when I ran the netscape executable, I got the same error message (/usr/lib/netscape/netscape: no such file or directory). I therefore think that there's nothing wrong with the archive itself (aside from having been renamed at one point). And yes, I have tried transferring the files again to get a pristine copy of the archive on the machine.
