Install Netscape Gold 3.0 for Linux

Post by The Beatle » Wed, 24 Jun 1998 04:00:00



I'm now using RedHat 5.0 . I want to install Netscape Gold 3.0. After
extract the file
using gzip -dc <compress file> | tar -xvf- , the binary execuate of
netscape is produced.

However, when I type netscape in the shell prompt , the screen prompt
"command not found" !

So, I issue ls -al command, the netscape binary is already readable and
executable.

What is the problems ?

Thank for all concern !

Check your path variable

echo $PATH

if the directory the netscape executable is installed into does not
appear, then the shell does not know where to find it and you'll get
an error.

If you put Netscape in /usr/local/lib/netscape ,  and the Netscape
executable is in some directory, /foo , which isn't already in PATH,
for example,

Make a file called /etc/profile.d/netscape.sh which looks like this :

export MOZILLA_HOME=/usr/local/lib/netscape
export PATH=$PATH:/foo

try ./netscape or add netscape directory in the /etc/profile line
PATH=yada:yada:yada

If I remember correctly, there is an install script you must run to
configure Netscape before you can run it. Look for a readme file or
other documentation in the directory where you extracted the file. There
are also environment variables that must be added to /etc/profile or
similar in order that Netscape can find things it needs. This is
explained in the documentation files too.

After you have done the necessary steps to configure Netscape and the
environment, if it doesn't run when you are in the Netscape directory
where your binary is located, try executing

        ./netscape

instead of just the command name.
