However, Netscape itself works fine for me. I run 2.1R with Xfree 3.1.2 in a standard installation. Two items: one controversial as to whether it is needed (it used to be, at least), and the other necessary to allow copy/paste operations from the 'View Document Source' menu. First, you may need a symlink so Netscape can access the X11R6 directory as just X11. Second, in the Netscape tarball there is a /nls directory with two files in it. Copy them to X11/lib/X11/nls (which you may have to create). Now, if X is working properly, Netscape will run in that environment. -- Ken Are you interested in | byte-sized education | http://www.play-hookey.com over the Internet? |
