It will also need GTK+, not Motif. Eh no. Look at their web pages, they _recommend_ gcc 2.7.x, so it should still work just fine with a.out systems. > I'm surprised the old Netscape needed libg++... Netscape probably used the most prominent compiler available for FreeBSD/a.out, gcc 2.7.x. This meant using the old libstdc++ which probably depended on libg++. If you feel like hacking around with the Netscape binary, you could try a dummy libg++ to see if it really uses libg++ functions (which I doubt it is). Most likely it's just some stupid libstdc++ dependencies. - alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
