How do you run netscape 2 on Ubuntu 13.04?
I've been trying to follow the instructions here to get netscape 2 to run on Ubuntu 13.04. I created a file called "netscape2.conf" to /etc/modeprobe.d and put this in it:
alias binfmt-0064 binfmt_aout
Then I downloaded the tarball they provided and extracted that in the root directory. Finally I downladed netscape 2 and extracted it. However, when I try to run it as a normal user it just spits out "killed" to the terminal. If I use sudo to run it then it says
./netscape: can't find library 'libm.so.4'
Ok so I explicitly add the paths to the $PATH variable using export and try again. Same problem. What am I doing wrong? Is it still possible to run this ancient browser on modern Ubuntu?
