I'm running NetBSD 1.2 on an IPX, with the same netscape as on my
Solaris boxes (which run 5.4 mostly with some 5.5).

I can't seem to make ldd on NetBSD work, but on solaris it says:

romberg:~$ ldd /store/bin/netscape.exe 
        libXm.so.3 =>    /usr/dt/lib/libXm.so.3
        libXt.so.4 =>    /usr/openwin/lib/libXt.so.4
        libXmu.so.4 =>   /usr/openwin/lib/libXmu.so.4
        libXext.so.0 =>  /usr/openwin/lib/libXext.so.0
        libX11.so.4 =>   /usr/openwin/lib/libX11.so.4
        libsocket.so.1 =>        /usr/lib/libsocket.so.1
        libnsl.so.1 =>   /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1
        libdl.so.1 =>    /usr/lib/libdl.so.1
        libresolv.so.1 =>        /usr/lib/libresolv.so.1
        libm.so.1 =>     /usr/lib/libm.so.1
        libc.so.1 =>     /usr/lib/libc.so.1
        libw.so.1 =>     /usr/lib/libw.so.1
        libintl.so.1 =>  /usr/lib/libintl.so.1

This is netscape 3.01 gold BTW, I think it's from
navigator/gold/3.01/unix/netscape-v301-export.sparc-sun-solaris2.4.tar.gz
but I must confess I'm not 100% sure.  You should probably also
make sure you know that version of Netscape you're actually running
to make it easier for others to reproduce your setting.

It works just fine on my NetBSD box (well, as fine as netscape ever
works that is - it takes ages to load but is snappy enough when it's
actually going).

Here's part of the ktrace from starting the binary, just the
successful NAMI operations:

Hope this is somewhat helpful.
