(GRRR) To: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I tried the workaround suggested by someone; install linux-netscape-4. It didn't work either, it has to get a bunch of RPMs (YUCK!) to build and it can't find them, like the script is way outdated. I started manually downloading the RPMs, but they weren't the correct ones. After about 5 times of reattempting 'make install', I'm ready to chuck 4.3 and go back to 4.2. I don't have time to mess around with tweaking to get it working. 4.76 should have been included; it is up to the user if they want a 'broken' browser or not on their system. They could have just put a warning instead of flat-out denying the user a FreeBSD version of Netscape. BTW, I also tried to install mozilla and linux-netscape6 from ports and they both failed too. Any more advice? I just want a working browser! --- SolarFlux wrote: > Date: Mon, 30 Apr 2001 15:12:35 -0700 (PDT) > From: SolarFlux > Subject: NS 4.76 instead of 4.77 in 4.3-RELEASE? > To: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org > > Just installed 4.3-RELEASE last week and tried to > get > netscape47-communicator from ports.
