>Originator:     Patrick Murphy
>Release:        FreeBSD 3.1-RELEASE i386
>Organization:
Michigan State University
>Environment:

	Intel Pentium 166MMX with 96MB RAM running 3.1-RELEASE with XFree86 installed.
	The machine has the 2.2 compatibility support installed.
	ldconfig has been checked and verified correct for elf and aout support.

>Description:

	When trying to run the Netscape 4.5 port from a remote x-server, the
	following error message is displayed before netscape terminates:

	/usr/libexec/ld.so: Undefined symbol "___inet_addr" called from navigator-4.5.bin:/usr/X11R6/lib/aout/libX11.so.6.1 at 0x2075d944

	[1]    Exit 1                        netscape

	If Netscape is run from the local x-server, it runs correctly.  Probably because this
	call does not need to be made from the local machine.


>How-To-Repeat:

	Install 3.1-RELEASE, XFree86 port, 2.2 compatibility support and netscape 4.5 package.
	Run netscape from a remote x-server.

>Fix:
	
	After reading some posts in the newsgroups, I copied the XFree86 libraries from
	/usr/X11R6/lib on a 2.2.8-RELEASE machine into the /usr/X11R6/lib/aout directory
	on my 3.1-RELEASE machine and verified that Netscape then runs from a remote
	x-server.

	It would appear that the link to at least libX11.so.6.1 is incorrect.  Rebuilding
	the XFree86 aout support libraries may correct the problem.
