No, GENERIC should work OK.
If you could ktrace the netscape (warning, this will make it slow :-)
and then run kdump (to produce human-readable output), you should be
able to tell what it's trying to do with the pdf viewer. (Go ahead and
mail me the kdump output at thorpej@og.org.)
Could you also mail me the "sysconf not implemented" messages? Those should
be easy to implement (probably), but I also need to know which sysconfs
HP-UX is expecting those numbers to return. They should be documented in
an HP-UX header file somewhere in /usr/include... probably unistd.h. Look
for the _SC_whatever constants.
(I'm home sick with a nasty cold today, so I could play with this a bit.)
