mozilla (Netscape 7) won't start

[Klaus Frank]

Hallo again

I successfully downloaded and installed Netscape 7 (B6835AA_B.11.11.06.01_HP-UX_B.11.11_32+64).
I also have GTK (B6848BA) on my system as required in the install doc.
If I then try to start netscape by
$ /opt/Netscape/netscape I don't come far. It ends with a bus error and a core dump! A trace of the start script "./netscape" is attached to this report as "mozilla.error". Please look at it.
I found that /usr/local/lib is somehow interesting in that context. But this location is empty on my system !? Should there be some files from the install procedure ?

Now what more can I do to get Netscape 7 properly started ?

Thanks or any good ideas

Hi there.
Could you pls attach the run-mozilla.sh, that is mentioned in your file with error at line 38 ? That is causing the problem and would help a bit further on.

$ ./netscape
+ moz_libdir=/usr/local/lib/mozilla-1.0.1
+ MRE_HOME=/usr/local/lib/mre/mre-1.0.1
+ [ -n ]
+ found=0
+ progname=./netscape
+ + dirname ./netscape
I don't know why the attachment didn't work. So here's a copy:

curdir=.
+ run_moz=./run-mozilla.sh
+ test -x ./run-mozilla.sh
+ dist_bin=.
+ found=1
+ [ 1 = 0 ]
+ script_args=
+ moreargs=
+ debugging=0
+ MOZILLA_BIN=netscape-bin
+ [ = beos ]
+ [ 0 -gt 0 ]
+ export MRE_HOME
+ eval set --
+ set --
+ [ 0 = 1 ]
+ exec ./run-mozilla.sh ./netscape-bin
./run-mozilla.sh[38]: 8228 Bus error

HP and Netscape no longer have a working relationship. Since the Netscape binary and libraries are stripped and source that matches the binary is not available, it is not possible to get to a root cause analysis. There will be no further updates to Netscape on HP-UX although the binaries will be available for download.

The new preferred browser is Mozilla, which is available here:

Since Netscape 7 is based on a very early version of Mozilla, there should be very little difference in operation - with the exception that Mozilla has many more defect fixes in it than Netscape 7.
