I'm trying to get an old Netscape 3 binary to work on Fedora 7. On startup
it prints the following:
netscape3: locale `C' not supported.
If the $XNLSPATH directory does not contain the proper config files,
Netscape will crash the first time you try to paste into a text
field. (This is a bug in the X11R5 libraries against which this
program was linked.)
Since neither X11R4 nor X11R6 come with these config files, we have
included them with the Netscape distribution. The normal place
for these files is /usr/X386/lib/X11/nls/. If you can't create that
directory, you should set the $XNLSPATH environment variable to
point at the place where you installed the files.
netscape3: The Motif keysyms seem not to be defined.
This is usually because the proper XKeysymDB file was not found.
You can set the $XKEYSYMDB environment variable to the location
of a file which contains the right keysyms.
Without the right XKeysymDB, many warnings will be generated,
and most keyboard accelerators will not work.
(An appropriate XKeysymDB file was included with the Netscape
distribution.)
I assume the transition from motif to lesstif is what has caused
these problems. Has anyone got advice on a quick fix?
Danny.
