Netscape is expecting to find newer versions of the shared libraries
than appear to exist on your system. As everything appears to work
fine, you can get rid of the messages by copying the older libraries
to the newer names. As root,

  cd /usr/X11R6/lib
  cp libXext.so.6.1 libXext.so.6.3
  cp libICE.so.6.0 libICE.so.6.3

and those nag messages should go away. You may need to run `ldconfig'
to update the shared library cache (or just reboot your system).
