And - thus far, there is no resolution. When I install Netscape (ftp'd from ftp.netscape.org) and try and run it, I get: netscape: locale `C' not supported. If the $XNLSPATH directory does not contain the proper config files, Netscape will crash the first time you try to paste into a text field. (This is a bug in the X11R5 libraries against which this program was linked.) Since neither X11R4 nor X11R6 come with these config files, we have included them with the Netscape distribution. The normal place for these files is /usr/X11/lib/X11/nls/. If you can't create that directory, you should set the $XNLSPATH environment variable to point at the place where you installed the files. I've tried creating the proper XNLSPATH and nls directories to no avail. I don't have this problem with XFree86 3.3.6. Is it possible this is already addressed in (the upcoming) 4.6? - Thanks! - - Dave Rivers - -- rivers@dignus.com Work: (919) 676-0847 Get your mainframe programming tools at http://www.dignus.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
