I installed Linux base 7 on a clean system, and Netscape install went out and tried to install Linux base 6. It could not find a particular library, which was there, just under a different name. Linux 7 has a bad habit of naming everything *.2.2.2.*, I noticed. I couldn't find the "libstd++", I believe it was, that Netscape complained about on startup, and I didn't wnat to dig through meaningless RPM's to find _the_ library, so I finally wiped Linux base 7 and installed Linux base 6. Oh, and trying to install Linux base 7 on top of Linux base 6 resulted in a lot of "lib* conflicts with lib*..." messages. Perhaps I could have worked it all out, but I didn't want to spend the time on that particular box...
