>Description:
The linux netscape is installed into $prefix/lib/netscape-linux, not
to interfere with the native netscape. If both are installed, I get
this:
ERROR: /usr/local/lib/netscape/plugins/libnullplugin.so: invalid ELF
header
when running netscape-linux. It seems to also impair the use of
plugins under certain circumstances. Even though MOZILLA_HOME is set,
netscape looks in /usr/local/lib/netscape/plugins for plugins, no
matter what, unless NPX_PLUGIN_PATH is set.
>How-To-Repeat:
install linux-netscape and native netscape.
start netscape-linux.
>Fix:
This can be fixed by setting the plugin path in the startup script:
