Hi, all.

I asked for help installing Netscape Navigator 3.04 on DU 3.2c. You can
find my original posting at the end of this message. The following people
tried to help me:

Dan Roscigno <ddr_at_phys.ufl.edu>
Carlos Sanchez <csanchez_at_cirp.es>

Gernot Salzer (salzer_at_logic.at) mailed me saying that he has the same
problem, and also that navigator's newsreader dumps core.

Dan suggested that it could be a memory problem. He had problems using
java when the X-Terminals had less than 12 Mb of RAM. This wasn't the case
for me, because I have used X-Terminals with 4, 16 and 20 Mb, and also on
the console (my alpha machine has 128 Mb of RAM).

Carlos pointed me to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, saying that
setting it to /usr/shlib could help. However, I have tried all
combinations of /usr/shlib, /usr/lib, /usr/local/lib,
/usr/local/lib/netscape, /usr/local/lib/netscape/plugins and /usr/ccs/lib
(and maybe even some more :-( ) playing with the order, using only one of
them, two, three, all, etc, etc, and it didn't work. I have also tried any
reasonable value (and some not so reasonable) for MOZILLA, MOZILLA_HOME,
XAPPLRESDIR and CLASSPATH, with the same results (none).

So, no results yet. I will keep on trying, and will post a summary when/if
I find a solution.

Hi, all.

I have installed the Digital's Navigator kit on my 3.2c system. It runs,
more or less, but I have two problems.

The first one is that Java doesn't run at all. It doesn't display any
error. The navigator displays a grey square where the applet should show
up, and that's all. And when I select the option "Show Java Console",
nothing happens.

The second, related with the first one, is that netscape displays this
message on exit:

22217:/usr/local/lib/netscape/real-netscape: /sbin/loader: Warning:
dlclose: negative open_count for Main
22217:/usr/local/lib/netscape/real-netscape: /sbin/loader: Warning:

22217:/usr/local/lib/netscape/real-netscape: /sbin/loader: Warning:

22217:/usr/local/lib/netscape/real-netscape: /sbin/loader: Warning:

22217:/usr/local/lib/netscape/real-netscape: /sbin/loader: Warning:
update_reference_counts: negative reference_count for
/usr/lib/nls/loc//es_ES.ISO8859-1

But those messages are displayed only when a page which has a java applet
has been loaded.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance,

        Pedro.
