Using Firefox with Cadence 5.x.x

[Gerard Wienk]

Hello,

Does anyone know how make Cadence for linux work with Firefox instead of
Netscape?

I tried making a link called netscape pointing to Firefox( as suggested
for 64bit linux which has no netscape), but that doesn't work. It
still gives a message that it can't find Netscape.

When Firefox is started manually before opening documents everything
works just fine!


thanks,

Gerard

I found out myself already!

For anyone who cares, here's the solution:

1. Give r-x rights to "everyone" for all firefox files.
2. Create a link called netscape-bin to firefox-bin
3. Create a link called netscape to firefox somewhere in your search path.

Gerard

In newer versions of cdsdoc, you can specify the browser (if I remember
rightly). The version in IC5141 is not the latest, so you have to workaround it
as above (or start the browser first).
