Subject:   Switching from Linux... What's the deal with Netscape Navigator?

Yesterday and today, I have been switching over my main personal desktop
from Linux to FreeBSD 3.3.

Mostly, it has gone smoothly, but I have run into a few snags.

The biggest one so far is the fact that Netscape Navigator doesn't seem
to want to run, apparently because of some annoying libg++ version
problem or something.

So can anyone tell me what the solution is?  Here's are the error messages
I get when I try to fire it up:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
/usr/libexec/ld.so: warning: /usr/lib/libg++.so.4: minor version -1 older than expected 0, using it anyway
ld.so failed: bad magic number in "/usr/lib/libg++.so.4"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------


How do I fix this?

(I would go and look at the FAQ, but that would require having a working
browser.  So I'm kinda caught in a chicken & egg situation.)


Other changeover related questions:
-----------------------------------

What exactly is Xwrapper and where is its man page?  (I'm using it in my
new .xserverrc file, but I don't even know for sure what it does.  I just
know that it seems to work.)

What extra magic do I have to do in order to get the -C option for xterm
to actually work?  (I've already set /dev/console to mode 0622 and I've
already made it be owned by me, so those things aren't the problem.)

Is there a version of Adobe Acrobat that will work under FreeBSD 3.x?


Other changover related comments:
---------------------------------

Whoever built the fvwm-1.24r package messed up and left out the XPM support.
I hope that in future releases, this package will get properly built with
the XPM support included.  It makes a big difference.

In my personal opinion, it would be Good if the default generic kernel had
EXT2FS support built in.
