Well, /usr/X11R6/bin to be more precise.
Is this just an 'installer' package for Netscape, or does it contain the
binary and associated files?
If you're installing the XKeysymDB that Netscape provides, please don't
overwrite the XKeysymDB in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11. Put it somewhere else
(maybe /usr/lib/netscape) and ensure that the XKEYSYMDB environment
variable points to this location whenever Netscape is run.
I haven't had a chance to look at your package, so I don't know whether
you're doing these things already. Just in case...
