I presume you are running testing or unstable? As far as I can tell the
existing version of Netscape 4.5 for Linux/sparc will not work on
either, due to an incompatibility with glibc 2.2.x. Stable (potato)
has glibc 2.1.3, which works fine. After learning this, I downgraded
my system from testing to stable. Now Netscape Navigator works for me.

The other option is SunOS emulation. I still don't have that set up
(don't have the right SunOS libraries), but it's not a high priority
for me now that I have the native Netscape running.
Good luck.
