>Release:        FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE i386
>Organization:
>Environment:

	/usr/ports/www/netscape47-navigator.us installed

>Description:

	If LD_LIBRARY_PATH contains /usr/X11R6/lib, 'netscape'
	dies because it's an a.out executable and needs the
	a.out versions of the X libraries.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Add /usr/X11R6/lib to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH and try to
	start netscape.

>Fix:

	Unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH, since it shouldn't need anything
	special from that.
