Thank you for your replies. I've downloaded it and tried to compile and
install it. Unfortunately not very successful. It seems I don't get the
libraries linked correctly. The compile works fairly well, I get some
warnings about the pthread but it goes through. After installation I get
fatal error, cannot map ... jpeg. I disable jpeg to se what happens and
I get fatal error, cannot map png etc.
Did you built dynamic shared objects or static libraries?
Do the jpg-/png-libraries work with other programs? I have built
jpeg amd zlib statically. Maybe this helps?
I think you are right, but I'm not sure if they are static since
I downloaded finished binaries for from http://sgistuff.g-lenerz.de/.
Is there anyway I can check the files? Maybe I should rebuild them
to be sure although I'm not so sure how to. Is it --enable-static=on
or something? I really need to read a book about compiling 
|
Here are a couple clues.
Assuming normal file naming :-)
A static library xxx would be named
libxxx.a
and
file libxxx.a
will say it is an ar archive.
A DSO (shared library, Dynamic Shared Object) would be named
libxxx.so
and
file libxxx.so
will say it is a 'dynamic lib'.
To determine what shared libraries an executable uses do
(say the executable is named 'a.out')
ldd a.out
That ldd command works on DSOs too.

I have downloaded lastest version and will try to implement it |

gmake 3.80. But 3.79 should do as well.

No there isn't something newer. I'm using the same version on

I tried to compiler Mozilla, which succeeded after some work,
but the resulting binary didn't do anything at all.

Perhaps lynx or one of the lynx-like text browsers will work.
Somehow I think that's not what you're looking for.

Have you tried dillo? It's supposed to be relatively fast but I did not
find the time to build it for my R3000.

Hello,
I wonder if there is a fairly recent internet browser that runs
in IRIX5.3. The machine in question is an Indigo R3000 so
I guess Mozilla is not the answer.
On Netscapes ftp site I have found Communicator 4.08 for
IRIX5.3 but I wonder if there's somethnig newer.
(Communicator 4.7 seem to be the latest for IRIX6.2)
If some compilation is required I might manage, but
