One problem with Netscape is the version of libc. This results in
Netscape 3.0 crashing, especially when running JAVA code. The fix is per
my posting to caldera:
libc 5.2.18 works great and runs ALL the java demos.
The procedure I used on several machines to get it running is:
1. got libc-5.2.18.bin.tar.gz from archives.
2. extracted it in a temp directory :
mkdir /usr/src/libctemp
cp libc-5.2.18.tar.gz /usr/src/libctemp
cd /usr/src/libctemp
tar xvzf libc*gz
3. copied the libc.so.5.2.18 to /lib:
cd lib
cp libc.so.5.2.18 /lib
4. created a batch file, runnetscape.sh to start netscape in /usr/local/bin:
#!/bin/bash
#
export LD_PRELOAD=/lib/libc.so.5.2.18
unset CLASSPATH
/usr/local/bin/netscape &
#
5. change this script to execute:
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/runnetscape.sh
6. in my FVWM and lg where I start netscape, I change references to
/usr/local/bin/runnetscape.sh
Hope this helps....

Use LINUX -- It works.... Win95 Crashes....
MickySoft should rename Start to Crash per truth in advertising laws.
Where do you want to CRASH today?
