What should I do to run stuff that needs libc.so.5? (Hey, I thought Netscape needed it, but that's working... Is SuSE distributing the glibc version these days?)

Netscape (as everything in SuSE 6.0--- well, almost) is glibc. If you install the shlibs5 package, libc.so.5 will be there (in /usr/i486-linux/libc5/lib).

Oh yeah. :-} Actually /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib ^

I had the same problem and tried it with a link to libc.so.5 in the /lib directory. Bad idea, netscape crashes when trying to load a PDF document.

yep.

Luckily I found an article in the German support database about the problem. Solution: disable the nppdf.so plugin and revert to executing "acroread" external to netscape for PDF docs

Oh poo. <pout> It was working on SuSE 6.0 beta as well... -- Rachel Who on Monday will attempt to get the ShockWave Flash plugin working again... :-} - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
