Yes, I installed the linux_base port to see if StarOffice would be useful to me. I did an "unsetenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH" and was able to run the linux netscape successfully. If I do the same for the FreeBSD netsacpe, it runs OK, too. To directly answer your question, my generic .cshrc will set LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Its current value is: /usr/local/lib:/usr/lib/compat:/usr/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib > As to why the FreeBSD native netscape doesn't work, I don't know, > except that it's trying to use ELF libs. What are the > ``ldconfig_paths='' and ``ldconfig_paths_aout'' in > /etc/defaults/rc.conf and /etc/rc*? The only place these variables are set is in /etc/defaults/rc.conf: ldconfig_paths="/usr/lib/compat /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/local/lib" ldconfig_paths_aout="/usr/lib/compat/aout /usr/X11R6/lib/aout /usr/local/lib/aout" I'm inclined to fix the problem by explicitly removing LD_LIBRARY_PATH from the netscape startup script. The other solution would be to learn what is wrong with my LD_LIBRARY_PATH value, and I'll simply make that "right". Thanks very much for your help!
