*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 31739 ***
This isn't a duplicate of Bug 31739. This is an ebuild for the new Netscape Navigator 9.0 Beta 2. Sorry I wasn't more clear in my original post.
Try you luck in some overlay, it was removed because there was noone who would maintain it. Thanks.
That is what I intend to do. I want to get this into sunrise or mozilla overlays, and reading the page at http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/sunrise/wiki/HowToCommit states there must be a bug report first.
Having a netscape-navigator ebuild would be a nice thing, thanks Alan! I just untared it manually, and found out that it failed to start: navigator-bin: undefined symbol: XineramaIsActive I don't have the xinerama USE flag set, but still I have x11-libs/libXinerama emerged. My solution was to export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libXinerama.so. If it works for you without such hacks, maybe you can get ldd to tell you what dependency provided that symbol, so we can find out differences. "ldd -r navogator-bin" also tells me this: Symbol `SSL_ImplementedCiphers' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking I don't know exactly what that means for me, whether that might cause trouble.
This package is now available at the Gentoo-Netscape overlay at http://gentoo-netscape.googlecode.com/ Of course all bugs for these packages are to be logged with the Issues tracker found at that site. Thanks
(In reply to comment #11) > navigator-bin: undefined symbol: XineramaIsActive Now I tried out your ebuilds, and found out that it starts without problems. I haven't been awake enough to think of that before, sorry. So there is nothing to take care of, and one more reason to have an ebuild for this, as without the ebuild a simple untared navigator probably won't work out of the box. (In reply to comment #12) > http://gentoo-netscape.googlecode.com/ Great! Maybe you should change the URL of this report here?
Changed URL from http://browser.netscape.com/ to http://gentoo-netscape.googlecode.com/ at Martin von Gagern's request. Also added to the title to use the overlay as Gentoo have marked this as RESOLVED WONTFIX.
