Nevermind. It just didn't register that the script posted earlier
was for csh so I wasn't exporting the shell variables. Another
problem is that if you are running libc.5.4 you need to go get
yourself a copy of libc.so.5.2.18 and load that. Get Debian's,
using RedHat's binary kills network support. Now at least I
can run the mail reader. I'm not loading Xpm 4.6 right now because
I don't know how to load more than one library (do I have
to link them both into the same library or will a colon-separated
list be accepted in LD_PRELOAD? How do I know if I succeed?
What's the meaning of life?). What dies if I use libXpm 4.7 --
I haven't noticed anything crashing yet.
The only thing I haven't gotten working yet is SMTP transfer
of outbound mail. It says the host refuses connection for
some reason. I don't use java (hate coffee in fact) but I fired
up Collabra and it is doing quite well. One bummer is that
there is currently no planned support for NetScape Conference under
Linux and BSDI, only the commercial UNIX get it.
