I also have serious trouble with Netscape 4.5 (from ftp.netscape.com, only  
version available for Linux). I run the kernel 2.0.34

Those packages are installed on my machine.

My /etc/ld.so.conf looks like this:

/lib
/usr/lib/tkstep
/usr/X11R6/lib/Xaw3d
/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/lib/libc5-compat
/lib/libc5-compat

ldd netscape gives me the following (ran ldconfig several times as root)

libXt.so.6 => not found
libSM.so.6 => not found
libICE.so.6 => not found
libXmu.so.6 => not found
libXpm.so.4 => not found
libXext.so.6 => not found
libX11.so.6 => not found
libdl.so.1 => /lib/libdl.so.1 (0x4000a000)
libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 (0x4000d000)
libg++.so.27 => /lib/libg++.so.27 (0x400cb000)
libstdc++.so.27 => /lib/libstdc++.so.27 (0x40103000)
libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x40140000)
libstdc++.so.2.7.2 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.7.2 (0x40149000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x40186000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4019f000)
ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40244000)

The first missing libs (did not check all of them) are located in /usr/ 
X11R6/lib. Since I am a linux-newbie, I may have messed with the system in  
earlier tries to get netscape running. I copied some libs, made soft- 
links, etc. but to the best of my knowledge, I un-did all this again. My  
previous attempts caused netscape to find all libraries, but abort on  
startup with message "segmentation fault" :-(

Shall I de-install and re-install some components (dselect, apt-get)?

Kind regards

Frederick
