  Sorry for the delay in replying. Since Iam in the preocess of
upgrading our
  Tru64 WS Iam not getting any time. Sorry.
  I got replies from BobVickers and R.Rahim and thanks very much. I did
as Bob
  suggested and could get more information. But Netscape still dies with
a core dump. With Bob's suggestion I could open a Java Console window
and I could
  see what is going on. My feeling is Iam having a font problem. But I
donot know
  which font I need. From where I can get the 'jar' files specific for
Tru64?

  Thanks in advance,
     Kumar

My Question:
=========
Iam trying to use an application from Oracle in Netscape. This
application
will run only with Netscape4.6 and higher. The application is using Java

   SW. Iam running Tru64 V4.0D with Patch Level3. This application also
   requires all the Java Classes files. So I have defined the following
as environment variables: MOZILLA_HOME and CLASSPATH .
  I also put the following directories (/usr/include/java with default
path)
  The following SW is also installed on the machine:

OSFJAVA425 installed Java V1.1.4 Environment (General
Applications)
OSFJAVADEV425 installed Java V1.1.4 Development Environment
                                 (Software Development)
OSFJAVADOC425 installed Java V1.1.4 (Supplemental Documentation)

   When I start the application from Netscape V4.6 , I get the following
message:
"reading java..." Then netscape window disappears with a core file.

   I would like to know

  1. How can I debug this core file to get the crash information?
  2. Is there any utility in general in Tru64 which I can use to watch
the process
      activities (like trace started from root in a separate window in
Linux)?

  3. Whether Netscape V4.6 already runs with Java on tru64 platform with

out
       problems?

  4. What additional Java programs I need (Iam new to Java) to run Java
application
       with netscape?

     I will very much appreciate if any one of you can help regarding
this problem.


Bob's suggestion:
=============

Netscape Java is very sensitive to missing fonts, and the supplied list
is
stupidly Sun-specific. Try copying
/usr/lib/font.properties.truepointsize
to $MOZILLA_HOME/java/classes/font.properties

===========are you by chance using any xterm.

We encountered a very similar problem, similar behaviour showed up
whenever
an xterm was trying to launch java via netscape off a du box., it was
resolved by creating font servers on the DU box.

if you would like more info, I can send you details
