The error you're getting is fairly clear in this regard (netscape looks for an a.out format libXt.so -- the ELF format libraries do not use so.X.Y naming convention). Pick up the a.out libraries from ftp.xfree86.org, move them to /usr/X11R6/lib/aout, add that to your a.out ld path, you're in. Best Regards, -- Pierre Y.
