I first installed netscape-communicator 4.76 at the initial install of BSD. But it didn't seem to fully install as a search for 'netscape' only showed up one entry which was in /user/sbin which is OK but there should be tons of other 'netscape' entries throughout the disk. Upon using the command 'netscape' it would core dump. At first I didn't have the compats22 installed but after that it still coredumps. No error messages showed up during the make & make install of netscape. I tried other versions of netscape that were furnished and also a fresh downloaded version from the net. Always the same, core dumped. I tried Mosiac and it got on the net OK but after a bit of usage it coredumped also. Konquerer from KDE gave me no problems. Kmail worked pretty good at first but then did some screwy things requiring Xkill to get it off the screen. So I installed Mozilla from ports and it installed OK with no errow messages. But it coredumped the same as netscape, that is to say, immediately, without the browser ever coming up on screen. I have searched around and read a lot of these messages but have not a clue as to what is wrong although I suspect I need to configure some file. Anyone have any clues or hints I can try?
