Netscape 7.1 + javavm

[Dmitry Pryanishnikov]

Hello!

 Is there a possibility to get working javavm plugin for Netscape 7.1 with
the current ports? I've read in Netscape 7.1 Release Notes that I want JDK
1.4.2 or later to get working Java, so I've installed:

 linux_base-7.1_5    The base set of packages needed in Linux mode
 netscape7-7.1       Linux Netscape suite
 linux-sun-jdk-1.4.2.02 Sun Java Development Kit 1.4 for Linux

Then I've tried to copy

 /usr/local/linux-sun-jdk1.4.2/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so

to /usr/local/lib/linux-netscape7-english/plugins, but I've got the following
error while starting Netscape:

 INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: No manager for initializing factory?

 System error?:: Success

Well, then I've copied

 /usr/local/linux-sun-jdk1.4.2/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so

to /usr/local/lib/linux-netscape7-english/plugins. This time I've got the
following warning during the launch of Netscape:

 LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library
 /usr/local/lib/linux-netscape7-english/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
 [libgcc_s.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory]

I've tried to install libgcc_s.so.1 into my /compat/linux environment from
libgcc-3.0.4-1.i386.rpm (Red Hat Linux 7.2 for i386), this time Netscape
started OK, but abnormally terminated while trying to display page which
requires JavaVM with the following output:

 INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Exec of "java_vm" failed: 2
 <
 System error?:: No such file or directory
 Gdk-ERROR **: Fatal IO error 9 (Bad file descriptor) on X server :0.0.
 INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Could not read ack from child process
 System error?:: Resource temporarily unavailable

So, is it possible to get working JavaVM with Netscape 7.1? If so, how to
do that? My OS version is 4.9-RELEASE-p1.

Sincerely, Dmitry
