I had the very same trouble with Netscape 2.0b2 on Solaris 2.4. Here's
what I found:
Specifying the moz2_0.car directory path is NOT good enough for Netscape
2.0b2. Your CLASSPATH must specify the full path of the file. AND it
needs to be the FIRST path in CLASSPATH. Like so:
---------
# NO GOOD:
setenv CLASSPATH /usr/joe/moz_dir:/usr/local/classes
# GOOD:
setenv CLASSPATH /usr/joe/moz_dir/moz2_0.car:/usr/local/classes
#NO GOOD:
setenv CLASSPATH /usr/local/classes:/usr/joe/moz_dir/moz2_0.car
---------
The bad news is, this is understandably bad for javac, which correctly
parses CLASSPATH for paths, not files. I've reported this as a bug
to Netscape.
Hope this helps, good luck,
steve.
