Netscape must be run in an X environment. Therefore, assuming your
system is
set up correctly and your are at the command prompt, try

startx 

If you succeed in getting your X environment, then you will see the
xterm
window (looks like the command shell), then you can try 

netscape & 

to start Netscape.

Hopes this helps,
