Tell me - how did you install netscape? Did you install it with the
Debian netscape-installer package, or did you attempt to do your own
installation? If you installed netscape without using the Debian
package, then try starting netscape up with:
MOZILLA_HOME=/usr/local/netscape netscape
(where instead of /usr/local/netscape, you would actually put in
whatever directory you used - you seem to indicate that you put
netscape in /usr/local/netscape which is why I used that dir.).
If this works for you, you may consider replacing the symbolic link
that's invoking netscape (you can find out where this link is with
"which netscape") with a little script that looks something like this:
#!/bin/sh
MOZILLA_HOME=/usr/local/netscape
export MOZILLA_HOME
exec /usr/local/netscape/netscape "$@"
