Alright, here are simple step-by-step instructions for running Netscape
3.x with Java on Colgate. (if you want to run java...)

(substitute your file locations and/or names for the ones i used)

mv /usr/local/bin/netscape /usr/local/bin/netscape.bin

put libc.so.5.2.18 in the directory /usr/local/lib/netscape/old-libc

then creat the file /usr/local/bin/netscape that contains:

#!/bin/bash
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/netscape/old-libc/libc.so.5.2.18
/usr/local/bin/netscape.bin

make /usr/local/bin/netscape executable
that's it.

if it isn't already, this REALLY needs to be in the FAQ. It is currently
pretty close to redhat-specific, as nothing else yet ships with libc >
5.2.x.
