I assume that you are trying to install on an Alpha? If so Netscape is only available for x86 systems. You can grab the Tru64 UNIX version of Netscape in RPM from Compaq (which include the libs needed to run it) and use alien to convert it to a deb. Otherwise you could try a recent mozilla (NOT the one in Debian for Alphas) and try building it yourself. Hopefully this will be fixed sometimes soon. If you need help, let me know. HTH, Ron
