Acrobat Plug-In for Netscape Communicator

Symptom:

The following message appears when Netscape is started in an xterm:
"ERROR: libc.so.5: cannot open shared object file: 
 No such file or directory
 Cant load plugin /usr/X11R6/lib/Acrobat4/Browsers/intellinux/nppdf.so. 
 Ignored."

Cause:

> /sbin/ldconfig -p | grep "libc.so"
        libc.so.6 (libc6) => /lib/libc.so.6
        libc.so.5 (libc5) => /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libc.so.5
        libc.so.4 (libc4) => /lib/libc.so.4
        libc.so.1 (libc5) => /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libc.so.1
        libc.so (libc5) => /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libc.so

Cause:

> ldd /usr/X11R6/lib/Acrobat4/Browsers/intellinux/nppdf.so
        /lib/libNoVersion.so.1 => /lib/libNoVersion.so.1 (0x40013000)
        libc.so.5 => not found
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4001e000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)

Solution:

The appropriate solution would be to base the Adobe Acrobat Reader on glibc. However the error message is "ignored" and should not effect the performance of the Acrobat reader

The solution of linking different libraries is not strongly advised! as this may cause the operating system to become unstable. (SIGSEGV).
