Hi there,

Hi all,

I can't get Netscape 1.1 beta3 to work under FreeBSD 2.0-RELEASE w/ XFree86-3.1. Please help. I did the following:

1. I downloaded netscape-v11b3-export.i386-unknown-bsd.tar.Z

2. I ran zcat netscape-v11b3-export.i386-unknown-bsd.tar.Z | tar xvf -. I've got netscape executable, XKeysymDB, nls subdir, and text files extracted under /usr/local/netscape.

3. I copied entire nls subdir to /usr/X11/lib/X11/nls and XKeysymDB to /usr/X11/lib/X11/XKeysymDB

4. setenv XNLSPATH /usr/X11/lib/X11/nls setenv XKEYSYMDB /usr/X11/lib/X11/XKeysymDB

5. As root, cd /usr/local/netscape netscape &

Obviously the /usr/local/netscape is not in your path , or you should do "rehash" - if you use tcsh for the system to put new executable into the hashed list.

Try to start netscape either by specifing full path to it, or cd'ing into /usr/local/netscape and then ./netscape

If you're in X11 environment as ordinary user and then try to run some X11 app as su'ed root - most probably you'll have the problem with X server. But this is other question
