NETSCAPE 4.61 for LINUX exits when trying to start JAVA.WHY??

Post by Nufarul Al » Fri, 15 Oct 1999 04:00:00



I'm using Netscape 4.61 for linux and because of this problem I have to
reboot and use a Windows 98 browser. So what can I do to to make this
browser work like in Windows 98.
And besides this I would like to know where I could find some plug-ins
for Netscape under LINUX, because I searched the Netscape home site and
I couldn't find any.


USENET is limited.

ThanX!!!

Please visit Netscape web site, there is a lot of documentation about this
problem.
It can be due to two diferent things:
    Som error in Mozilla configuration
    Some distributions do not set Netscape files       properly ( Red Hat
6 )

cheers

I've got the same problem. Netscape 4.7 will not run Java or Java applets.
If I hit a webpage that's using Java, Netscape immediately aborts operation.
I have searched the RedHat site for info to no avail. Could you please point
me to a URL for help?

See #1 in the FAQ.
Covers the error and the fix. However, the advisory it consistant. Seems
the one who wrote it didn't consult RH's own whitepaper on the new
fontsystem. When you use chkfontpath to add or remove a fontpath, there
is no need to rehash xfs manually afterwards - it has already been done.

Hey, I found a solution to this buried on the Netscape site. Do the following
(oh this is for Redhat installs only)
type in:    chkfontpath --list
you should get output like the following:
                 Current directories in font path:
                 1: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled
                 2: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled
                 3: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled
                 4: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc
                 5: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1
                 6: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo

You should then add the 75dpi scaled font to your path list using the command:
                 chkfontpath --add /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi

This should fix both the font display problems and the problems with Java
crashing.

This is article 990807-8 from Netscapes site.

It worked for me.  Goodluck.

I still get command not found error, done as either user or root.

Sounds like you need to install the chkfontpath RPM.  You can get it
from Red Hat's ftp site or a mirror.

Oops - then you must install the rpm first. If you have RH6 i believe
it's called chkfontpath-1.4.1-1.i386.rpm or something like that
But it's odd it isn't installed - there are several fonts that list that
as a requirement
urw-fonts, XFree86-100dpi-fonts and XFree-75dpi-fonts - if you haven't
installed those, throw them in as well - then try again

Apparently not every system has "checkfontpath" -- mine doesn't (debian-2.1).
But the X font paths are listed in your /etc/X11/XF86Config file.

It is inside XFree86-xfs*rpm. (* = wildcard, don't remember the release # for RH
6).

Most probably you didn't have xfs installed and you're manually inserting the
fonts path into your /etc/X11/XF86Config. Check out that config file if its
there.

Is it?  Did it change?  On their rawhide site, it's its own RPM:

1. Netscape 4.61 crashes when running JAVA

I'm currently running Netscape 4.61 under Linux, and it works fine as long
as I have Java switched off. As soon as I switch Java on and view a page
with Java on it, Netscape crashes once it has loaded the Java applet. This
also happened with earlier version of Netscape.

I have MISC binary support enabled in the kernel (I'm running 2.2.12). Do I
need jdk installed? If so, which version? Could it be some other reason?

Thanks,
J
