   Hello,
  
   I have a PC installed with FreeBSD5.1 and I would like to install
   netscape on it but can't find a suitable netscape version that can run
   on FreeBSD5.1.
  
  
   I downloaded communicator-v476-us.x86-unknown-freebsd.tar.gz and
   installed this version but when I execute this it gives a exec format
   error.
  
 
  It's because it requires the aout X libraries.  They are somewhere
  in the ports section.  Make sure to make, make install when you are NOT
  running X on the system!!!  (ie: do not do this in an x window)

 Could you please point me to exact library that I  need to install?.

 Thanks,
 -Viru

Netscape navigator for FreeBSD5.1

2004-09-23 Thread Virupaksh Honnur
Hello,

I have a PC installed with FreeBSD5.1 and I would like to install
netscape on it but can't find a suitable netscape version that can run
on FreeBSD5.1. 

I downloaded communicator-v476-us.x86-unknown-freebsd.tar.gz and
installed this version but when I execute this it gives a exec format
error.

I am wondering which would be the compatible version of netscape on 
FreeBSD5.1 and from where I can download. (I spent some time on Google
for this but no help!).

Thanks,
-Viru

That version probably needs you to install the compat22 package.  I
recommend installing mozilla instead, and use the Classic theme so it
looks just like Netscape :)

You have a plenty of them.

% ls -d /usr/ports/www/netscape*
/usr/ports/www/netscape-remote /usr/ports/www/netscape48-communicator
/usr/ports/www/netscape-wrapper/usr/ports/www/netscape48-navigator
/usr/ports/www/netscape47-communicator /usr/ports/www/netscape7
/usr/ports/www/netscape47-navigator
%


As far as I see none of them has OS version dependency.

This means that you need a.out support in your kernel (COMPAT_AOUT) to
run the a.out netscape binary.  You may also require the 4.x
compatibility libraries.

All that uses the linux compatibility stuff, Netscape hasn't released
a native freebsd binary for some time.

Mozilla is what you want if you want the latest and greatest browser
stuff.

But I still run ns4.7-freebsd for testing purposes, it's also faster than
the modern browsers.
