Hi Emil, Thanks for your help but unfortunately, the gcc3.2 "javaplugin_oji.so" plug-in did not do the job ... In Help-->About Plug-Ins I can see Java, but every time I try to browse to http://go.icq.com (or any other Java applet) - Netscape just crashes ...

Unfortunately, my system is not rh 9, but Mandrake 8.2. I have installed netscape 7 and indeed there is a problem with the Java plugin. I suggest that you do the following: Download the java 1.4.1 runtime for linux. Go to http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux/mirrors.html Try this: Download from one of the mirrors the jre-1.4.1-01-linux-i586-gcc3.2.bin file (from the JDK-1.4.1 subdirs). chmod +x jre-1.4.1-01-linux-i586-gcc3.2.bin ./jre-1.4.1-01-linux-i586-gcc3.2.bin After all this junk gets unpacked, Stop the browser. copy the file jre1.4.1/plugin/i386/netscape7/javaplugin_oji.so to /path_to/netscape/plugins (you probably have to be root). Don't forget to remove the old libjavaplugin_oji.so file from there. Launch netscape, check for error messages during netscape startup, check the Help-->About Plug-Ins,and then check back the "problematic" site. Let me know how it goes. I cannot test this on my system because I don't have gcc3.2 and its C library installed.
