I'm getting this exact same message on Solaris this on my Solaris 8
(64 bit) install. This result is the only post I can find about this
on the net.

I've installed the Solaris 8 'mega patch' (the cluster upgraded with
urgent fixes), but nothing else apart from openssh, wget, top, and a
handful of other similarly boring packages.

FWIW it's a full install (devel packages included), I also have Gnome
1.4 and Gnome 2.0 installed (both from 'offical' packages from Sun), I
have no other versions (did have Ximian, uninstalled when I remembered
how much I hated Sawfish and couldn't not be bother to fix it
_again_).

Currently Gnome 1.4 and Gnome 2.0 are both working wonderfully.

What I want to know is: How (in the simplist way possible) can I get
Netscape 7 / Mozilla working with my existing install *without*
screwing up Gnome 2.0 (which, unlike Gnome 1.4, installes all over the
place in /usr, not in /opt/gnome-$version)?

Can I (a) point Mozilla/Netscape to my gtk libs?

Or (b) do I *have* to build a version GTK seperate from my main system
and install it in some prefix (to keep it from screwing with my
existing Gnome 2.x install)?

Or, secret option (c), is their a fun PKG for this (which, again, will
play nice with my existing gtk install)?

Can't see anything exactly relevent on mozilla.org or netscape.com,
pointers much appreciated.
