During install (or make installworld) select the FreeBSD 2.2 compatibility libraries for installation. This installs the necessary a.out system libs you need to run netscape (the package system will install the necessary X11 a.out libraries if it finds the 2.2 a.out system libs). However, this compatibility does not install /usr/lib/aout/c++rt0.o which is necessary for compiling a.out binaries (such as the plugger port, which links into netscape). For this, you need to pull it off of a 2.2.x binary distribution, as discussed here two days ago. Now, let's just convince Netscape to build a native 4.1 binary, eh? ;-) -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Vivek Khera, Ph.D. Khera Communications, Inc.
