When you try to make install ports/www/netscape4*, it will try to install the aout version of X. On my machine, it fails dismally. >How-To-Repeat: as root: [some netscape] = any netscape port cd /usr/ports/www/[some netscape] make install >Fix: Get and use the BSDi version of netscape instead of the FreeBSD version. Manually install by decompressing it and running the ns-install script. (let it go in /usr/local/netscape as it wishes and then make a symlink to the executable like 'ln -s /usr/local/netscape/netscape /usr/bin/netscape') >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
