Historically there has been a lot of problems with Netscape/ Communicator on Linux. How do I get it (and Java) to work?
Getting the latest version of Communicator to work under RedHat is quite easy as long as you know two things:
- You use the ftp://ftp.caldera.com/pub/mirrors/redhat-contrib/i386/netscape-wrapper-bnl-4.04-3.i386.rpm
Netscape Wrapper RPM to install Communicator 4.04 which is
currently the most stable version.- You set the MOZILLA_HOME enviroment variable as discussed in this other FAQ available on the RHLUFAQ.
To use the wrapper RPM, place your communicator tarball (available on Netscape's ftp site) in your /tmp directory and install the RPM as you normally would (rpm -ivh
).
