This is not enough, as netscape had been compiled with an old version of
libXpm

Get libXpm.so.4.6 (from sunsite, I suppose), then put it in
/usr/lib/netscape/lib, run ldconfig -n . in this directory and add the
following line to /usr/X11R6/bin/netscape before the exec

export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/netscape/lib/libXpm.so.4

I also need to explicitly set the PATH, otherwise I get a netstat zombie
and a netscape that is running without opening a window and that can be
killed by kill -9 only.

Could we add this to the installation procedure?

Communicator beta 4 installed with the debian installer package does not
even start here. Installing it wiped out my libXpm.so.4.6 mentioned above.
Why?
