Re: HELP newbie find specific shared libraries

[Bob Nielsen <nielsen@primenet.com>]

You probably should get the Debian packages, not the tar files.

1.  The easy way (the Debian way):

If you download communicator 4.06 (not the glibc version) and put it in
/tmp, then use dselect or apt-get to install the netscape4 package, it
will examine the dependencies and install all the necessary libraries.


2.  The harder way:

(It looks like you have the libc5 version of Netscape.  Note that the
libc6 versions of some of the files have the same names, but are
installed in different directories.)

      libXm.so.1.2.4        -> libXm.so.1.2 in the lesstifg package
      libICE.so.6.0         -> libICE.so.6 in the xlib6 package
      libXpm.so.4.9         -> libXpm.so.4.10 in the xpm4.7 package
      libXext.so.6.1        -> libXext.so.6.3 in the xlib6 package
      libdl.so.1.7.14       -> libdl.so.1.9.9 in the ldso package
      libc.so.5.3.12        -> libc.so.5.0.38 in the libc5 package
      libg++.so.27.1.4      -> libg++.so.27.2.1 in the libg++27 package
      libstdc++.so.27.1.4   -> libstdc++.so.27.2.1 in the libg++27 package
      libm.so.5.0.6         -> libm.so.5.0.5 in the libc5 package

I strongly recommend that you use either dselect or apt-get to avoid
getting into dependency problems.  The apt method in dselect works quite
nicely.  Unfortunately apt is not part of the Debian 2.0 distribution, but
is available in /dists/unstable/binary-i386/admin.  Don't let the
"unstable" scare you away from it--it is a valuable tool and IMHO should
be on every Debian system.
