OK this is all with virgin stuff installed from SuSE 6.0, not downloaded or installed from anywhere else - the Acrobat Plugin for Netscape Communicator doesn't work because it's looking for libc5 (libc.so.5) and can't find it. The exact error message is: "ERROR: libc.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Can't load plugin /usr/X11R6/lib/Acrobat3/Browsers/intellinux/nppdf.so. Ignored. The listed file ...nppdf.so is there, and accessible under my user, so I think it's the library that's missing not the plugin. :-) acroread itself seems to work OK. And I've just checked my /lib and guess what? No libc.so.5 (standard install from SuSE-Linux.6.0-evaluation, no subsequent modifications by me). I'm just looking at the SuSE ftp site... Downloading shlibs.rpm and shlibs5.rpm in the hope that this is what I need - although YAST *tells* me I already have them... Anyway, we'll see - this could of course kill my system... :-} Nope, that wasn't it. 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?) -- Rachel - 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>>
