>Description:
The current netscape7 package has 3 problems:
1) Wrong PLIST
2) The installer leaves temporary files in /emul/linux/usr/pkgsrc
3) Missing symlinks (this is really suse_x11's fault)
Details:
1) I don't know what's wrong with the PLIST but I get this:
===> Registering installation for netscape7-0nb1
pkg_create: can't stat `/usr/pkg/lib/netscape/netscape7/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so'
netscape7-0nb1 requires installed package suse_base-7.3nb1
netscape7-0nb1 requires installed package suse_compat-7.3
netscape7-0nb1 requires installed package suse_gtk-7.3
netscape7-0nb1 requires installed package suse_x11-7.3nb2
2) After the installation is done, and the user has cleaned the work
files, there are still files under /emul/linux/usr/pkgsrc. That's the
place where the "original" installation was done (according to the
instructions in files/extract_instructions). Please note that
netscape sees /emul/linux as its root directory while "make clean"
only wipes pkgsrc/www/netscape/work...
3) Some plugins fail to initialize. This is because of two missing
symlinks in /emul/linux/usr/X11R6/lib.
>How-To-Repeat:
[ remove all suse packages ]
# rm -rf /emul/linux/*
# export NS_INST=complete
# make install
# make clean clean-depends
# netscape7
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library libXt.so [libXt.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory]
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library libXext.so [libXext.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory]
>Fix:
1) I don't know
2) Add a post-clean target to "${RM} -rf /emul/linux/${WRKSRC}"????
3) Add the missing symlinks (pre-build or fix suse_x11?)
# cd /emul/linux/usr/X11R6/lib/
# ln -s libXext.so.6 libXext.so
# ln -s libXt.so.6 libXt.so
