Problem in running Netscape-6

Dear All ,
I installed Netacape-6 on my HP-UX 11.00 System by using "swinstall". The package got installed successfully. The problem is when I try to run it it's giving following error -
# /opt/netscape6/netscape
/opt/netscape6/run-mozilla.sh /opt/netscape6/mozilla-bin
MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/opt/netscape6
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/netscape6:/opt/netscape6/Cool
LIBPATH=/opt/netscape6:/opt/netscape6/Cool
SHLIB_PATH=/opt/netscape6:/opt/netscape6/Cool
XPCS_HOME=/opt/netscape6/Cool
MOZ_PROGRAM=/opt/netscape6/mozilla-bin
MOZ_TOOLKIT=
moz_debug=0
moz_debugger=

/usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't find path for shared library: libintl.sl.1
/usr/lib/dld.sl: No such file or directory
/opt/netscape6/run-mozilla.sh[36]: 22602 Abort(coredump)

I have binutils, gtk+, glib, libiconv already installed on my system.

On my system , I could not find any file of name libintl.sl.1 !

Some of the packages as shown by "swlist -l product" are
NscapeNavGold B.11.00 Netscape Navigator Gold
binutils 2.11.2 binutils
gcc 3.1 gcc
gettext 0.11.2 gettext
glib 1.2.10 glib
gtk+ 1.2.10 gtk+
libiconv 1.8 libiconv

Please tell me how to install and run Netscape-6 Successfully on HP-UX 11.00 ??

Thanking you all in advance.

Re: Problem in running Netscape-6

"libintl.sl.1" is part of B6848BA which includes GTK+, GLib, Gettext, and Libiconv.

Netscape 6 requires this bundle to be loaded. A link to download it can be found here:

Re: Problem in running Netscape-6

I am encountering the same problem except that the libintl.sl.1 is loaded on my system. I was low on space, so I installed the gtk stuff in the /opt directory. The path is /opt/opt/gnome/lib/libintl.sl.1

What do I need to change so that Netscape 6 will find the file it needs? I tried adding the above path to my PATH, but still got the same results.

Thanks

Re: Problem in running Netscape-6

I'm answering my own question in case anyone needs this information in the future.

I was able to start Netscape 6.2 after i added the SHLIB_PATH environment variable. libintl.sl.1 was located at /opt/opt/gnome/lib, thus adding this path solved my problem.

Doing this was probably obvious for those who are experienced with with Unix systems. I knew it was a PATH issue, just not which variable required setting. Even though I'm having trouble in the beginning, I've set up both Solaris and HP-UX systems and have learned quite a bit this past week from these newsgroups and experimentation. If you are new to Unix, don't get discouraged too quickly. I might have, but I've got to do these tasks for my job. :)

Regards.
