It is not required to reinstall any linux applications, it's more a matter
of getting rid of linux_lib left-overs.

This could be your problem. Note that LD_LIBRARY_PATH also applies to Linux
binaries, which makes mixups quite likely. Try removing the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
from your env and place /usr/local/lib/rvplayer5.0 in
/compat/linux/etc/ld.so.conf, like this:

	echo /usr/local/lib/rvplayer5.0 >> /compat/linux/etc/ld.so.conf
	/compat/linux/sbin/ldconfig

My ld.so.conf looks like this:
	/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib
	/usr/X11R6/lib
	/usr/local/lib
	/oracle/lib
	/usr/local/lib/rvplayer5.0

Well, yes. But that doesn't mean /compat/linux is empty. There may be some
left-overs. In general that's not necessarily a problem, but since you get
segmentation faults, it may be a problem.

(BTW: I still have to download Netscape. I'll get back to you when I've
done it)
