8518.1Check CLASSPATH and librariesSMURF::GAFJerry Feldman, Unix Dev. Environment, DTN:381-2970Fri Jan 24 1997 15:308
    I just tested it on PTB, and it works fine.
    
    Try setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH=directory where libXt.so is located. Should
    be with Netscape.
    
    Also set your CLASSPATH=location where java_301 is located.
    
    
8518.2shouldn't have removed it...HYDRA::DONSBACHJeff Donsbach, Software Partner Engineering, DTN 297-6862Fri Jan 31 1997 19:0913
    >I've made sure that I had everything(java_301, etc) in my local

    That's your problem. In the Netscape 3.01 distributed with PTB,
    "/usr/bin/X11/netscape" is a shell script, which sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    to a modified version of "libXt.so" in /usr/lib/netscape (which allows
    Java to work correctly) and then fires off the real netscape executable.
    
    Put back the Netscape from the PTB CD and you should be fine again.

Thanks.  LD_LIBRARY_PATH was the key.
