You've answered your own question. You have libstdc++2.9 installed,
netscape is built against an older version (2.8). Searching the Contents
file (a great thing to have around...check the CD or the FTP site you
got Debian from):
bash-2.02$ zgrep 'libstdc++.so.2.8' Contents-i386.gz
usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.8 oldlibs/libstdc++2.8
usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.8.0 oldlibs/libstdc++2.8
So, you need to install the libstdc++2.8 package in the oldlibs section
to complement your existing libstdc++2.9. If you've got apt setup,
then 'apt-get libstdc++2.8' should do it. Otherwise, go into dselect,
press [S]elect Packages, '/' to search, then type 'libstdc++2.8' and
press enter. Hit '+' to select it, Enter to get out of that menu, and
[I]nstall to install it.
