How have you installed it? If you did not use the "port", then this
is probably the root of your problem. There are some things the port
takes care of for you...
Mostly, you want some kind of shell-script like this to start
netscape. The port installs something likethis in
/usr/local/bin/netscape:
#!/bin/sh
export XKEYSYMDB ; XKEYSYMDB=/usr/X11R6//lib/X11/XKeysymDB
export XNLSPATH ; XNLSPATH=/usr/X11R6//lib/X11/nls
export XAPPLRESDIR ; XAPPLRESDIR=/usr/X11R6//lib/X11/app-defaults
export CLASSPATH ; CLASSPATH=.:/usr/local/lib/netscape
exec /usr/local/lib/netscape/netscape.bin $*
#EOF
Also, the port would have read this to you:
Note: If Java applets fail to display. Type this as root:
cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc
/usr/X11R6/bin/mkfontdir
chmod 444 fonts.dir
And then exit and restart your X server.
(actually "xset fp rehash" might work w/o restarting X server)
