1. First of all, Netscape seems to have been poorly ported to FreeBSD. Many of us have had problems with it. I think it ends up requiring XFree86-aoutlibs. But first of all, would you check anyway whether Linux compatibility is installed? Run /stand/sysinstall and go to configure and then startup. Make sure Linux is checked. Netscape probably needs it, and even if it doesn't, you should have it installed anyway. If it wasn't checked, reboot the machine after installing. If netscape still doesn't run, you probably need XFree86-aoutlibs. But try this first. 2. Make a .xinitrc file in your home directory with the following command: exec startkde (It probably now has three xterm commands and twm or something like that.) >This is not the Linux netscape.! its the Unix-FreeBSD one, which >included in the CD. >i install it many times and it stillgives the error.. >Couldnot open /usr/libexec/ld.so > >and there is a question down of this page, about 3 term windows, >please, if somebody could help.
