That worked very nicely, but now the old netscape4.5 segv's (ktrace/dump output available but not too interesting). So, I figured (this being an old box) that I should update my ports tree and install communicator 4.8. At install time I find a problem with: netscape48-communicator/work/communicator-v48.x86-unknown-linux2.2/vreg which also dumps core (again ktrace uninteresting). So, I look and see that I'm running linux_base-5.2. Oh. So I go to linux_base. Make works. Install gives this: error: /usr/ports/distfiles/rpm/glibc-2.2.4-31.i386.rpm cannot be installed *** Error code 1 Nice. I futz with Makefile to see what's going on, find the offending command, and run by hand with debugging turned on: LC_ALL=C rpm -vv -U --root /compat/linux --dbpath /var/lib/rpm --nodeps --replacepkgs --ignoreos --ignorearch /usr/ports/distfiles/rpm/glibc-2.2.4-31.i386.rpm .... <...LOTS OF DEBUG HERE...> ... D: removing conflict index for rpm D: removing conflict index for glibc-devel D: package has no files D: running postinstall script (if any) execution of script failed error: /usr/ports/distfiles/rpm/glibc-2.2.4-31.i386.rpm cannot be installed Uh... package has no files? Ok. It has 5Mb+ of no files. Any help appreciated at this point. Either version of netscape would be fine.
