Linux Java and Netscape




Hi Einzner and all.

I allready have the libc.so.5.3.12 . So your solution not help.
Any other idea?


This is from the Linux Java-Linux-Mini-HOWTO that comes with JDK 1.0.2:
 

2.  How to make Netscape 3.0 and java work

  2.1.  Getting the environment right

  The fundamental problem with Netscape 3.0, java, and linux machines is
  the use of a Standard C Library revision later than libc 5.0.9. With
  the following wrapper script to netscape, java will for the most part
  cease to crash the browser.

  The script also sets a very simple CLASSPATH. Be careful, certain
  CLASSPATH entries can confuse netscape and cause it to crash.

/START/
  ______________________________________________________________________
  #!/bin/sh
  export CLASSPATH="/usr/local/netscape/java/classes/java_30:."
  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/lib/509"
  netscape $*
  ______________________________________________________________________

  To make this all work, follow these steps:

  o  Install netscape

  o  Copy the java_30 file included with the netscape archive to
     /usr/local/netscape/java/classes/

  o  Create a directory called /lib/509/

  o  Copy libc.so.5.0.9 to /lib/509/

  o  Create a symlink from /lib/509/libc.so.5.0.9 to /lib/509/libc.so.5

  o  Edit the shell script to match your setup

/END/

In short RTFM.
