Details
No version of mozilla to date has run on my machine, a Cyrix 166+ running
Slackware 3.6. I installed the requisite libraries and attempted to complile,
but that didn't happen either. With M5, here is my result:
amerige:~/tarballs/package$ run-mozilla.sh
MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/home/lars/tarballs/package
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/lars/tarballs/package:/usr/local/rvplayer5.0
MOZ_PROGRAM=viewer
moz_debug=0
moz_debugger=
viewer: error in loading shared libraries
/home/lars/tarballs/package/libraptorhtmlpars.so: undefined symbol:
__vt_8iostream.3ios

It has been a long time since I ran Slackware (last version I used was 3.4), but
I thought I might suggest something: Try a different distribution. I know there
are things to be said for Slackware, but what makes quite a big difference
between it and other Linux distributions is that, even with the latest 4.0 that
is going to come out soon, it is **STILL** using libc5... Hard to believe it,
but it still hasn't made the transition to glibc2/libc6. And as I understand
it, Mozilla **requires** libc6. (Correct me if I'm wrong about that part.)
If you still want to try getting it to run under Slackware, then I'm afraid
you'll have to try switching it over to glibc2/libc6 yourself, which is **NOT**
recommended, since building and installing something like a C library is a very
delicate process, and can leave your entire system in an unusable state if
something goes wrong. I've added a cc for myself, as this problem does interest
me; I'd like to know if it gets solved, simply because I also remember my
Slackware days. (I use Red Hat 6.0 now.)
