Netscape and acroread

Post by Cha » Sat, 29 May 1999 04:00:00



Hi,

I'm trying to setup Netscape (4.51) to use acroread (3.01) and ghostview
as helper applications to open PDF and postscript files.  I Edit
Preferences, etc. and change the Application so that it starts acroread
and ghostview.  However, while these programs start, they do not load
the PDF or postscript file that I clicked on. I'm using RedHat 5.2...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

Chad

1. Netscape 4.5 and Acroread 3.01 and glibc 2.0.7

Hi,
Under Netscape 3.04 and 4.05 Acroread worked as a plugin very nicely.
After I updated my glibc to 2.0.7 with SO 5.0 it crashes under NS 4.5
and takes NS with him to computer-heaven :-((. I can't tell if it's 4.5
that causes the crash or the glic update.
Under NS 4.05 it crashes now also under the new glibc.
Any experiences with plugins and glic 2.0.7.?
Three possibilities:
-NS 4.5 changed something with the plugin and causes it to crash even
under 4.05.
-glibc 2.07
-The Matrox-XFree-Server causes this...
I am using S.u.S.E. 5.3 kernel 2.0.35 on a MMX 200MHz Pentium with 64MB
RAM and a Matrox Millenium 2MB WRAM with the S.u.S.E. Matrox-Server
1152*864 16bit.
I updated all together and it would take me hours to investigate what
causes this ....

Any hints?
Kai
