I've never had this issue before - always been able to just grab the Netscape executable and install it. The way this was put together was (on 4.5-RELEASE): 1) mv X11R6 X11R6.3.3.6 2) ftp the XF86.4.2 files from Xfree86.org 3) Install the XF86.4.2 files 4) Install the X11R6 aout compatibility libs. 5) ftp the 4.7 netscape executable from ftp.netscape.com 6) Install netscape using the shell script in the netscape distribution. But - looking more at the ktrace output - this shared library is the only one that is not coming from an aout compatibility library (and, there isn't one of these in the X11R6 aout compatibility directory.) And - this is odd - I looked in an a XF86.3.3.6 tree and couldn't find anything named 'xlcDef.so*'. So, I don't know what's going on that's convincing netscape to even try to load such a beastie... - Dave Rivers - -- rivers@dignus.com Work: (919) 676-0847 Get your mainframe programming tools at http://www.dignus.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
