This is Caldera LTP (the precursor to 3.0) but it's been patched and 
upgraded a lot.  The thing that puzzles me is that
a)  I have newer versions of gtk, Xfree86, and glibc than what Netscape 
recommends.
b)  N6.2 works fine.
c)  N7 works fine on the SuSE partition.

I studied a little and see that gdk is a piece of gtk+, so this should 
be OK.  But I'll bet dollars to donuts that Netscape is looking for 
some library in a place that RH or SuSE puts it and not Caldera, but I 
have no way (that I know) to "monitor" what N7 is looking for and not 
finding.  In other words, I don't know if there is a place where error 
messages might appear, other than /var/log/messages, because they 
certainly don't appear on the console when I try to run N7.
