Hello,

I've tried to install Netscape{Navigator,Communicator}4.7, FreeBSD
version, on numerous occasions ever since FreeBSD 4.2 without much
success.

After installing:

netscape-remote-1.0
netscape-wrapper-2000.07.07
XFree86-aoutlibs-3.3.3

and compat22, as well as Netscape Navigator 4.7, I still get the
following error whenever I try to start Netscape:

$ netscape
/usr/libexec/ld.so: warning: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6: minor version
-1 older than expected 0, using it anyway
ld.so failed: bad magic number in "/usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6"


$ ls /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel - 10 Mar 13 00:57 libXt.so@ -> libXt.so.6
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel - 336239 Jul 25 2000 libXt.so.6*

$ ls /usr/local/bin/net*
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel - 4936 Apr 5 11:42 netscape*
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel - 11108 Apr 5 11:42 netscape-remote*
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel - 11 Jun 5 01:08 netscape.run@ -> navigator-4

$ uname -sr
FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE


Could you give me some hints on how to get the Netscape Navigator
working ?


Thank you

P.S.

Please don't email me with replies pointing out that there are
alternatives to Netscape (e.g. Mozilla, Konqueror, or linux-netscape),
as I'm aware of them. I genuinely like (native) Netscape and wish to
use it.
