I'd appreciate any help with the following problem.
I have just upgraded from 3.1.2G to 3.2. Now when I
try to run netscape I get the error
can't load library libXpm.so.4
This file exists in /usr/X11/lib so I don't know
what the problem is. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Paul

1. Netscape can't load 'libXpm.so.4'
Call me masochistic, but I'm in the process of setting up my Linux
system "piece-by-piece". I found that when I let Caldera's setup
program do things for me, I couldn't customize the system, because I
didn't have a clue how it was configured in the first place.
So I wiped everything out, installed a "minimum" system from the Caldera
install program, and I've been adding things piecemeal ever since. I
just got XFree86 3.3 installed (albeit with twm), and I wanted to fire
up Netscape. (As an aside, the rpm files on Redhat's ftp site seem
intended only to upgrade an existing installation; I had to use the
.tgz files from ftp.xfree86.org.)
I installed the Netscape rpm from my Caldera CD and tried to start it.
That's when the subject error message appeared. I poked around a little
bit and managed to find libXpm.so.4 in the aout-lib rpm. Unfortunately,
after installing aout-lib, Netscape still gives me the same error. I've
verified that the path to libXpm.so.4 is in /etc/ld.so.conf, and I've
even run ldconfig manually--to no avail.
I'm a complete newbie at Linux, so I really don't know where to go from
here. Any advice is appreciated!
Thanks!
