You were trying to install the glibc version of Netscape (also known as
libc6) but these libraries are not present in the linux_lib port. To get
them, go to any bigger Linux ftp site and download them.(ftp.gnu.org
or a mirror would
be a good idea) If you have
access to some new Debian or RedHat system, you can copy from there as
well. (But not Slackware AFAIK) Then install the libraries under
/compat/linux/lib and rerun ldconfig. But before doing it, please get a
copy of the linux_lib port which is later than March 1. The newer the
better:-) That's because otherwise you will have to replace ld-linux.so.2
and this
may render some programs unusable. You can also get glibc if you get
StarOffice 5.0 or later, it is included there as well.
Good luck!
