Greetings:
Has anyone been able to run the Linux version of Netscape Communicator
version 4.7 under NetBSD. I have Linux emulation compiled into my kernel,
and have tons of library files under /emul/linux, which allow me to run all
of the Linux versions of Netscape from 4.0 to 4.61 without any problems. I
even run the Linux plugins like xswallow, Adobe acrobat, TCL/TK plugin, etc.
on any of these versions of Netscape.
Unfortunately I cannot run version 4.7, even with all of the plugins removed.
When I do, I get the SIGSEGV error, as shown in the following ktrace/kdump:
...
16705 netscape CALL brk(0x8de4000)
16705 netscape RET brk 148783104/0x8de4000
16705 netscape CALL getgid
16705 netscape RET getgid 100/0x64
16705 netscape CALL setgid(0x64)
16705 netscape RET setgid 0
16705 netscape CALL getuid
16705 netscape RET getuid 100/0x64
16705 netscape CALL setuid(0x64)
16705 netscape RET setuid 0
16705 netscape CALL pipe(0xefbfc020)
16705 netscape RET pipe 0
16705 netscape CALL pipe(0xefbfc018)
16705 netscape RET pipe 0
16705 netscape CALL fork
16705 netscape RET fork 16709/0x4145
16705 netscape CALL close(0x6)
16705 netscape RET close 0
16705 netscape CALL close(0x9)
16705 netscape RET close 0
16705 netscape CALL fcntl(0x7,0x3,0xefbfd2cc)
16705 netscape RET fcntl 1
16705 netscape PSIG SIGSEGV SIG_DFL
And the program dies here. Any ideas why? Even though there is a BSDI
which runs great under NetBSD, it is missing features that the Linux port
has, most noticable plugin support. I am running ix86 NetBSD 1.3K.
Thanks in advance. Sincerely, Alicia.
