I guess I will have to ditch the port I have and download one. So many Netscape ports, so little time! This is appaarently not a bug or shortcoming in the book, but an error in the port on the CD-ROM. What I don't get is why, if the port on the CD-ROM is presumably complete, the make install process searches for another complete port: "communicator-v403b8-export.x86-unknown-freebsd.tar.gz" Perhaps it is complete, but the make install program doesn't know this. I can't even find a FreeBSD directory on ftp.netscape.com. Navigating the directory trees of ftp sites is a little bit slower and more tedious from the command line, which is why I want to get Netscape up and running.
