This is what the variable points to... Usually I install all the files in /usr/local/lib/netscape and then put the netscape binary in /usr/local/bin. In the README for netscape it says the following about java: Java Applet support is available for all Unix platforms. To run Java applets with the Java-enabled version, the Navigator needs to be able to load Java class files from a file called java_301. This file is included in the distribution, but must be moved to any of these directories: The current directory /usr/local/netscape/java/classes /usr/local/lib/netscape $HOME/.netscape To play around with 4.0 on machines I do not have root on I just run it out of a directory in my home directory where it can load the class library but I still have to unset my CLASSPATH environment variable to get java to work. This is what I do to launch netscape so java works correctly: ------------ #!/bin/sh CLASSPATH=/usr/local/lib/netscape4/java_40 NETSCAPE=/usr/local/bin/netscape4 export CLASSPATH NETSCAPE exec $NETSCAPE ------------ Paul Saab spaul@more.net
