I wonder if this is some kind of conflict between the old netscape installer (where you put the NS binary in /tmp) and the new NS packages which have the NS binary included. I never used the netscape installer; I've always downloaded the tarball from netscape.com, and installed it in /usr/local. When I installed the 4.07 from slink I had no problems, except for the earlier problem with a missing locale dir that was a problem in the X11 stuff. Here's what I have installed (the last one has the NS binary): netscape-base-4 netscape-base-407 netscape-java-407 communicator-base-407 communicator-nethelp-407 communicator-spellchk-407 communicator-smotif-407 -- Ed C.
