	Obviously the /usr/local/netscape is not in your path , 
	or you should do "rehash" - if you use tcsh for the system
	to put new executable into the hashed list.

	Try to start netscape either by specifing full path to it,
	or cd'ing into /usr/local/netscape and then ./netscape


	If you're in X11 environment as ordinary user and then  
	try to run some X11 app as su'ed root - most probably you'll
	have the problem with X server. But this is other question
