	I wonder if this is some kind of conflict between the old netscape
installer (where you put the NS binary in /tmp) and the new NS packages
which have the NS binary included.  I never used the netscape installer;
I've always downloaded the tarball from netscape.com, and installed it
in /usr/local.  When I installed the 4.07 from slink I had no problems,
except for the earlier problem with a missing locale dir that was a
problem in the X11 stuff.
	Here's what I have installed (the last one has the NS binary):

	netscape-base-4
	netscape-base-407
	netscape-java-407
	communicator-base-407
	communicator-nethelp-407
	communicator-spellchk-407
	communicator-smotif-407
