crash - human stupidity - no netscape, no mozilla

["Richard P. Groenewegen" <rpg@xs2all.net>]

Hi,

First a crash and then some human stupidity caused me to loose my /
partition.  I just installed a fresh debian woody and almost
everything (X, networking, ...) works.  I cannot get netscape and
mozilla to work.

*** Attempt 1, use the installation in /usr/local/
When I type netscape I get:
    netscape: can't load library 'libXpm.so.4'

This is a netscape 4.73 I installed in /usr/local/netscape.
To my understanding the libXpm.so.4 is in xpm4g, which I have
installed.  Furthermore ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm* gives
esentially:

-rw-r--r--  79760 Nov  6  1999 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.a
lrwxrwxrwx     14 Oct 10 20:01 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so -> libXpm.so.4.11
lrwxrwxrwx     14 Oct 10 18:39 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4 -> libXpm.so.4.11
-rw-r--r--  52444 Nov  6  1999 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4.11

Al files are owned by root.

*** Attempt 2, try to use package netscape4
When I use dselect and select netscape4, the response is:
    netscape4 depends on libg++272 (>= 2.7.2.8)
    libg++272 does not appear to be available

I do have libg++2.8.1.3 installed, but that does not seem to help.  I
aborted this attempt.

*** Attempt 3, use mozilla
I installed the debian mozilla package without problems (apart from a
mozilla-mailnews recommendation which was not available).  When I type
mozilla, I get:
    Starting Mozilla
    Could not obtain CmdLine processing service

Help!  Now I really don't know what to do.  Any suggestions.
Some random info:
% uname -a
Linux spec 2.2.12 #3 SMP Tue Oct 10 18:29:35 CEST 2000 i686 unknown

I'm running the latest debian woody. 

regards,
Richard
