You probably need to install the old shared C library (ver 5), 'shlibs5.rpm'. Note, this package is almost 40 megs!

I seem to remember that at the Netscape download web site they have both libc5 and libc6 versions of the software, though possibly not under those names. Maybe it's called glibc. This business of getting the right library can be very confusing, and is one of the least attractive aspects of installing Linux software.

Nope, I've already got that installed. What I really need to do is tell Netscape that I don't want to use any plugins. The only option in Edit|Preferences that deals with helper apps doesn't mention Acrobat or pdf files :-( Any other ideas?

This is due to the fact that Netscape is a glibc (libc6) program and the Acrobat plugin is still libc5. Won't work. You have to disable the plugin (so Netscape doesn't load it). I think there is an entry in the Support Database on what else to do...

Yes ... It is at http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/jd_acrobat.html Simply following the instructions about installing acroread as the application to run for Portable Document Format worked fine (I didn't bother with the recommended "unset LD_PRELOAD" business in /usr/X11R6/bin/acroread, and it worked all the same).
