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.
