I think Netscape 4 is compiled with the Linux 6 libraries.
I installed Linux base 7 on a clean system, and Netscape install
went out and tried to install Linux base 6. It could not find a
particular library, which was there, just under a different name.
Linux 7 has a bad habit of naming everything *.2.2.2.*, I noticed.
I couldn't find the "libstd++", I believe it was, that Netscape
complained about on startup, and I didn't wnat to dig through
meaningless RPM's to find _the_ library, so I finally wiped Linux
base 7 and installed Linux base 6.
Oh, and trying to install Linux base 7 on top of Linux base
6 resulted in a lot of "lib* conflicts with lib*..." messages.
Perhaps I could have worked it all out, but I didn't want to spend
the time on that particular box...
