Netscape Problem: SOLVED -- but now what?

["Howard S. \('Sherm'\) Ostrowsky" <shermo@sb.grci.com>]

Hi

A couple days ago I sent a cry for help because my Netscape had suddenly
stopped working.  I got a number of helpful replies, for which I thank
the writers.  But I solved it myself.  

In case anyone else is having a similar problem, here's what I found:

   Some weks ago I had put a link in /usr/local/lib to my 
   libX11.so.6.1 (actually LESSTIF) library in /usr/X11R6/lib.
   I did this because I wanted to be able to link programs 
   with libX11 without having to give the -L(etc) on the
   command line each time.  Well, it worked ... as far as its
   original intent is concerned.  But that's what broke Netscape.

   Netscape needs to link with the version in /usr/lib/libc5-compat
   instead, and after my change it wasn't doing so (ldd showed me
   this).  So when I removed the links in /usr/local/lib,
   Netscape began working again!

OK, but how _should_ I set things up so that Netscape can find the
right (libc5) library, but my new programs can find the libc6 
version?  I am perplexed.  Any helpers?

	Thanks,
