My window manager is icewm running under gnome, and the netscape I am trying to launch was built from /usr/ports/www/linux-netscape47-navigator/. The staroffice was built from /usr/ports/editors/staroffice-5.2 If I add a launcher to the bar and set the command to /usr/local/bin/netscape, clicking the icon doesn't launch the application. Looking at the window I started x from, I see the following messages appear : /usr/local/lib/netscape-linux/navigator-linux-4.77.bin: error in loading shared libraries: /usr/X11R6/lib/libxalflaunch.so.0: ELF file OS ABI invalid. xalf: timeout launching /bin/sh If I tick the Run in Terminal box in the launcher properties, then a terminal is launched and the application starts fine. It's only when this is not ticked. The same situation applies to staroffice. Needless to say, terminals lying all over my desktop unneeded is something I'd like to avoid :) Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this ?
