Greetings: I have FreeBSD 4.3 Stable running on an old laptop. I pretty much have everything working they way I want it. I did have Netscape working at one point. Seems to be Netscape Communicator 4.74-US. Now I use Mozilla (5.0.8.1), which works just fine. Netscape does not start up. I try from the pull-down menu of my window manager (FVWM2) and nothing happens. Trying to start Netscape from the command line of of an Xterm: $/usr/local/bin/netscape results in the following error message: /usr/libexec/ld.so: warning: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6: minor version -1 older than expected 0, using it anyway ld.so failed: bad magic number in "/usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6" I seem to have a couple of extras libXt.so.6 files buried deep in /usr/compat/linux/usr, but I don't know if swapping one of them would be a good idea. I don't know how to determine their minor version numbers or the quality of their magic numbers. Both Netscape and Mozilla are packages installed from the FreeBSD 4.3 CDROM. Could I just try pkd_delete on Netscape and reinstall it with pkg_add? I don't want to risk breaking Mozilla trying to fix Netscape. I am not subscribed to this mailing list. Any suggestions via email would be welcome. Ken
