The binary you were trying to run requires the newer version of Linux
which is installed on the cluster Dells. Until the infoagents
maintainers install something more appropriate, you can run an older
release of Netscape 4 by running the following commands at the athena%
prompt:
add infoagents
netscape-4.61 &
[Note to infoagents maintainers: the Linux binary you have now is
specific to i386_linux22. When I looked at Netscape's website, I
found two alternative binaries: 4.75 built for "Linux 2.0"
(i386_linux2) and 4.74 built for "Linux 2.0 (glibc)" (which probably
corresponds to i386_linux3). I don't know offhand which is a better
choice in terms of plugins.]
