Hello everyone,

I have recently installed several i686 class machines with:
FreeBSD 3.4-RELEASE
and pkg_add'ed:
linux_base-5.2.tgz
rpm-2.5.6.tgz

It seems that Netscape Communicator 4.7 (linux, elf) will not run properly
under this configuration.  It dumps core (SEGV) if:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib:/usr/local/lib
If LD_LIBRARY_PATH is unset, it loads but fails to run properly
(i.e. interface runs extremely slowly, seeming dns timeouts, etc).
(Yes, everything else is working fine...).

I have an extremely similar i686 class configuration:
FreeBSD 3.3-STABLE
and pkg_add'ed:
linux_base-5.2.tgz
rpm-2.5.5.tgz

Under which Netscape Communicator 4.7 (linux, elf) runs great, even with
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib

Does this reflect a problem with linux_base-5.2, or 3.4-RELEASE?
Any ideas?

Cordially,
