I had the same problem. Actually, it is somewhat strange that you can find
it on the ftp site at netscape but none of there web pages list a linux
version. Weird. 

Isn't the reason for this that it's unsupported?  Netscape just builds
a linux version as a courtesy?  (Someone correct me if I'm misinformed.)

It is unsupported by Netscape, but I believe Caldera has picked up
support for it in its products.  That is, I think they bundle it or
otherwise sell it.

The guy who does the unix builds at Netscape takes pride in porting the
client to various unix platforms (as do some of the developers), and
some of the original developers there (mostly unix users) like linux
along with all of the other unix platforms.  In fact, it is rumored that
some of the best field bug reports on the unix client came from linux
users using that unsupported version...
