This is an ELF library, while netscape's looking for aout ones. Have you
got aout compatibility X libs (say, in /usr/X11R6/lib/aout)? If not,
you'll have to install them. It seems, the binary packages for XFree86
contain them as well as ELF. Otherwise, you'll have to recompile XFree86
port and when configuring answer "yes" when asked if you want these
libraries.
