"ldd /usr/local/bin/netscape" only shows what libc you have on your
system, not what libc netscape is linked to
from testing, if you want to use java, you still need to preload an old
libc for netscape 3.01 as well as 3.0. i've been working with linux for
the last 2 1/2 years and really do know what ldd does :)
basically, netscape's java is still broken. again, to get it to use the
old libc, just:
mv /usr/local/bin/netscape /usr/local/bin/netscape.bin
put a copy of libc.so.5.2.18 or 5.0.9 (i used 5.2.18) in
/usr/local/lib/netscape/old-libc
and make the following /usr/local/bin/netscape, with 755 permissions:
#!/bin/bash
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/netscape/old-libc/libc.so.5.2.18
# replace 5.2.18 with 5.0.9 if you use 5.0.9; either will work
/usr/local/bin/netscape.bin
