Is your X directory /usr/X11 or /usr/X11R6 ? The latter is what gets installed, but at least some versions of Netscape have demanded an X11 directory. This gets solved with a symlink: X11 --> X11R6 . The other two requirements are for Netscape 3 and Java applets. First, you need a CLASSPATH environment variable pointing to the java_30 file from the tarball, and second, you need to do: cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc /usr/X11R6/bin/mkfontdir Execute these two as root.
