Re: Stupid Netscape question
I got it installed. Thanks. Just as everything else, I seem to have bad carma or
something. I started from scratch, right down to downloading it again. This time the
netscape installer worked, However, when I tried to run it (using "netscape" at the
prompt) I got something like... agh! I forget exactly what it said, but it mentioned
"libxpm.so.4" either not there, or not working. I'm using hamm (how do I find out
what release?). Ideas? It will be so nice to be able to message while still in
Linux rather than booting back and forth from Linux and Windows.
