Subject: netscape on sparc?

Hi there,

I have a Sparcstation 2 running NetBSD 1.5.

I'd like to run netscape communicator on it.


Can someone advise me as to how to go about this
if it's possible? As far as I know there are no packages
for sparc, therefore you need to compile your own
from distfiles, but of course there is no distfile for
netscape communicator.

I was thinking perhaps a SPARC solaris binary might
run, but then I thought this may need solaris emulation
libraries like linux emu for the i386.

Can someone please advise me of the best way to go?


many thanks,
Paul.
