netscape on Debian, libc5 or libc6?
Hi,
I have followed the netscape installation instructions (generic linux)
and all is unpacked and the install script completes OK. But netscape
will not run. It is missing the libraries libg++.so.27 and
libstdc++.so.27. These are present on my Debian system (2.0) in
usr/lib/libc5-compat.
Therefore, I assumed that netscape is libc5 only, and redirected library
loads to /usr/lib/libc5-compat (using LD_LIBRARY_PATH). This found the
libc5 versions of most libraries, and the libg++.so.27 and
libstdc++.so.27 that are ONLY in the libc5 directory. But this showed
that a library libXpm.so.4 was not found. This appears to be only in the
libc6 set (/usr/X11R6/lib). All this tracked using 'ldd netscape'.
This is very confusing. Is netscape libc5 or libc6?
If netscape is libc5, then is there a libc5 version of libXpm.so.4
somewhere?
Am I totally off the track here?
Cheers, Chris.
