I was trying to install Netscape 4.5 (release version) on 4.0b and 4.0d. 4.0d
worked.
I just checked the latest Patch for 4.0b Readme and found:
--------
SUPERSEDED PATCHES: OSF410-400487 (538.00)
This patch corrects the following:
- Provides the requried run-time support for images created by the
Digital C++
V6.0 and above compiler.
Contact the Digital C++ compiler group (cxx_at_lego.zko.dec.com) for
details.
- An updated libcxx.so which provides the required run-time support
for
images created by Digital C++ V6.0 and above. Customers who are
using
Digital C++ V6.0 can use the un-documented compiler switch:
-use_system_libcxx
which will cause the compiler to use the system libcxx.so file
when linking.
Digital C++ V6.0 customers should only use this switch if the
resulting
images are to be executed either on other systems witch have had
the
libcxx.so patch installed, or on Digtial UNIX V4.0D and above
systems.
-------
Apparently, Netscape did not use the "-use_system_libcxx" switch. They should
document that the patch is needed.

The name of the above unresolvable symbol probably gives a hint to what
you need to do ("need new libcxx.so").
