Perhaps I wasn't quite precise: Because Netscape is running in
Linux emulation it "thinks" your home directory is in
/compat/linux/usr/home/your_homedir
and wants to place ~/.mozilla there, but it can't because
your_homedir is in
/usr/home/your_homedir
So you can
# ln -s /usr/home/your_homedir /compat/linux/usr/home/your_homedir

I see the same thing - in linux emulation.  Netscape7 actually uses
the ~/.mozilla directory to store the profile, not /compat/linux.  It
looks like it won't just open up another window.  I typically start
Netscape from a keystroke menu, but if I already have a netscape
browser open, I have to open new ones from existing browsers using the
little navigator icon or the CTRL-N keystroke.  Trying to open another
from the menu gives the message you described.

Are you running netscape7 in linux emulation?
It might look for your home directory somewhere in /compat/linux
- where it isn't.
If this is the case, you could set a link.

Netscape 7

2003-01-07 Thread Alvaro Rosales R.
Hi guys , I have installed NEtscape 7 in a FreeBSD 4.7 Box , it works 
fine but everytime I close the program, Netscape asksme for a profile, I 
try to use the one I used in my earlier session and it says that It cant be 
used because it is already being used , Im the only user of that PC, it 
seems that netscape has a problem writing profiles.Any Ideas?
