V2.0.5-RELEASE... uname() doesn't seem to work... Cc: jeffa@sybase.com Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi All, I followed the directions that I found in the mail archives with respect to setting up Netscape. I'm pretty darn sure I have everything setup okay. However, when I start up Netscape the following error is displayed and Netscape "hangs" doing nothing. uname() doesn't seem to work. Can't figure out what type of system this is. Uhm, this is a stock FreeBSD V2.0.5 with the IDE ATAPI CD-ROM support added. Uname seems to work at the shell level. Perhaps the length of the 'uname -a' return is a problem? My config, if this is important, is: P100, 40MB RAM NCR SCSI, lots of disks (SCSI-1 & SCSI-2) #9 GEX64-pro video I installed FreeBSD from tape (didn't have the CD-rom support yet :-). Any ideas as to what might be wrong. I have defined the XNLSxxx and KeySymDB environment variables to point to the correct place. Oh yea, I downloaded the: netscape-v1.1N-...-unknown-BSD.tar.Z from ftp.netscape.com. Any thoughts, suggestions, etc would be very welcome. Thanks, - Jeff
