netscape-i686-pc-linux-gnu-installer.tar.gz for Netscape 6.1 ppc?

Post by Heinz Nabiele » Sat, 15 Sep 2001 18:59:22



Netscape was inviting me to download
what they called
Netscape 6.1 English language, X11 Linux 2.2.18-4hpmac ppc.

What eventually came down the line was
netscape-i686-pc-linux-gnu-installer.tar.gz.

Which I stopped very quickly.

Any comments?

Did you seriously expect something else? Use mozilla, they know there's
more to Linux than just x86.

1. /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.95.2/include/asm causing errors...

I tried to compile the cddafs software from gracjan and it didn't compile
on my Linux machine at work but it did compile on my Linux machine at home.

After a while I figured out what the differences where of those two sytems.
The file:

  /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.95.2/include/asm/posix_types.h

caused the errors.

This file is different from the one in:

  /usr/include/asm/posix_types.h

where asm is a link to:

  /usr/include/asm -> /usr/src/linux/include/asm

On my system at home, where I run egcs-2.91.60 the directory

  /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-pc-linux-gnu/egcs-2.91.60/include/asm  

does NOT exist. That's why the software did compile on that machine
without any problems.

So I removed the directory /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.95.2/include/asm
and now it also compiles on my machine at work.

But I still have some questions:

- Why is this asm directory duplicated by the installation of a compiler?
- If it is needed, how could it be that it is causing errors?

Thanks for any information about this....
