You should NEVER blindly run installation scripts for commercial apps running on a foreign ABI; this is why we have a ports collection. I'd suggest deleting the netscape & osf1_base packages. Then rm -rf the folling directories and/or links /compat/osf1 /usr/compat/osf1 /usr/lib/X11 /usr/bin/X11 Now re-install osf1_base from the ports collection. Then install netscape from the ports collection. I'm not sure if the above is enough. If its not, re-do the package removals & rm -rf's. Then carefully look at the ns-install program and try to remove any traces of what it may have installed, including directories.
