netscape

[David_246]

Hi,

I had some difficulties in opening png-files in my Netscape I have the following version :
NS-communicate B.11.00.05 Netscape Communicator 4.75

The browser was so absurd slow when reading local (file:/) png-files.
So therefor I tried to install Netscape 7.00 that comes as a package. This one need GTK+ 1.2.10.2, I could only find 1.2.10.1
Installed both products, but of course it doesn't work.
I get the following error :

# ./netscape-bin
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't find path for shared library: libnspr4.sl
/usr/lib/dld.sl: No such file or directory
Abort(coredump)

both homedir and current dir are made 777. Note that I do not have connection to the internet from my UX-box.

Any help is much apreciated in how the make my old version faster or how to make the newer one work :)

Hi,
where is the file libnspr4.sl ?

Try to find with

find / -name libnspr4.sl -print

Did you put this directory in SHLIB_PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH ?

Also,
do a

chatr netscape

and see if searching is enabled.



HTH,
Massimo

libnspr4.sl comes with Apache;

ApacheStrong.APACHE-STRONG: /opt/apache/lib/libnspr4.sl

If you install Apache maybe you can get it to fire up once you copy this library to /lib.

Have you checked your entire server incase you have it already somewhere ?

swlist -l file | grep -i libnspr4

Hi,

Sorry. I already found the file in /opt/Netscape/ (the new installation. I copied this file over to /usr/lib/ but it remains that I do not have a /opt/gtk, this should have come with a 1.2.10.2 install (I guess), as I installed 1.2.10.1 , the only one I could find on the HP site. This might be my problem.

Also using the chatr /opt/netscape/netscape-bin

shows the following :

netscape-bin:

Any suggestions ?

Alright,

I needed the latest Netscape Comunicator and not the webserver :)
Installed latest version 4.8 on hpux 11.00, but still png-reads are very slow. I will post another question for this.

Thanks for your help.
