 The following error message appears in the xterm window from where I call
 Netscape:
 
   ./netscape: can't load library 'libXpm.so.4'
 
 'libXpm.so.4' is a symlink in '/usr/X11R6/lib' and points to
 'libXpm.so.4.10' in the same directory.
 Even a complet reinstallation of Debian 2.0 and Netscape 4.05 didn't help
 anyway.
 
 Who can tell me where the problem is and how I can solve it ?
 
 Now I have to use Windows 95 to access the web. That's impossible !!!
 
 Thanks a lot for any help.

Did you upgrade NS from the libc5 based to the glibc2 (aka libc6) based
version?  When you went from 1.3 to 2.0, you also went from libc5 to a
libc6 system.

Install the xlib6 and xpm4.7 packages from the oldlibs-section.
