X-Mailer: VM 6.43 under 20.4 "Emerald" XEmacs Lucid Message-ID: <14480.50220.887518.411214@grasshopper.cs.duke.edu> Sender: owner-freebsd-alpha@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Compaq has released their Tru64 shared libs for use with Netscape on "alpha linux" (not to mention FreeBSD & NetBSD..): http://www.compaq.com/partners/netscape/downloads/register_nav4_Linux.html This is a form which has a survey on it. Make sure to tell them you're running ({Free,Net}BSD ;-). When you fill out this form, you get pointed at a 16MB rpm. When you finally manage to extract it (I HATE rpms!), you end up with a tar file: usr/local/netscape/netscape-all-4.7.tar.gz To make it run on FreeBSD (note you need XFree86 installed!): mkdir /compat/osf1 cd /compat/osf1 tar zxf /path/to/netscape-all-4.7.tar.gz mkdir /compat/osf1/usr/lib ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 /compat/osf1/usr/lib/ edit /compat/osf1/usr/bin/netscape & make it look like this: #!/bin/sh # # Set up environment for Netscape on Alpha Linux and then run Netscape. # From www.alphalinux.org/docs/netscape_du.shtml. # Provided by Compaq Computer Corporation, Alpha Technology Solutions Group. # #export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/shlib export MOZILLA_HOME=/compat/osf1/usr/local/netscape exec $MOZILLA_HOME/netscape $* Then run /compat/osf1/usr/bin/netscape Cheers, Drew ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Andrew Gallatin, Sr Systems Programmer http://www.cs.duke.edu/~gallatin Duke University Email: gallatin@cs.duke.edu Department of Computer Science Phone: (919) 660-6590 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
