What problems are you having setting up netscape? What mail program are
you trying to get mail with and is your mail server a POP3 server?

What version of debian are you running and what problems are you having
installing it? To find what package you need for libXpm.so.4 do a dpkg -S
libXpm.so.4 and that will tell you what package the file is in. It looks
like you're missing one of the X packages. Could be xlib6 or something
like that. If you're trying to install Netscape 4.6 on a 2.1 or below
system, you'll have to get files from the potato distribution. 4.6 is
based of glibc 2.1 I believe and a newer version of netscape-base.

The above line will nuke your PATH variable and put
"/the/path/I/want:other/paths/Iwant" as your PATH variable. If you wish
to keep your existing PATH variable and add to it, do thist:
PATH="/the/path/I/want:other/paths/Iwant:$PATH" or something to that
effect. the $PATH can be put anywhere on that line. The only thing it
will efect is the order directories are searched in your path.
