It sounds like you are running hamm (Deb 2.0), or better, and
have not installed the libc5 libraries. You are probably using
the old libc5 based NS versions. So you'll need to install libc5,
libXpm, libg++, and libstdc++, all from the oldlibs section in
Deb's distribution.
You can also get libc6 based versions of NS from
ftp.netscape.com, in the 'unsupported' sub dir. This will not
require any oldlibs to be installed.
