On a slightly related topic - as a result of this problem I decided to give the Linux 2.01 Netscape version a go as I had heard reports of success running JAVA applets with this. Tried running the linux version but got the following errors - $ ./netscape resolv+: "hosts" is an invalid keyword resolv+: "bind" is an invalid keyword Netscape then runs but fails to resolve any DNS names - interestingly I got the same problem when I tied to run other Linux network executables (eg ping) as an experiment. Never mind about the DNS though - I only want to run local applets - I tried the good old 'HelloWorld' and of course ended up a core dump. Anyone able to help here ?? Would life be eeasier if I was running 2.2-SNAP ?? As all I really want to do is test applets while I am learning JAVA does anyone know if 'appletviewer' would work if I had the MOTIF dynamic libs (seems to complain about these if you try) Everything else is running fine however !!! $ uname -a FreeBSD aardvark.jagunet.com 2.1.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE #0: Mon Apr 1 00:24:55 EST 1996 root@aardvark.jagunet.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/AARDVARK i386 $ modstat Type Id Off Loadaddr Size Info Rev Module Name EXEC 0 3 f0843000 0018 f0848000 1 linux_emulator Using JDK-1.0 port Thanks -- Paul Chakravarti paulc@jagunet.com
