Irrespective of the version of Netscape, try these steps among others 
not to make Netscape crash:

A.  Install the libc5 package plus the libc5 binaries of xpm, xlib, libg++27.
B.  Run ldconfig after installation and fix the dead symlinks pointed out by hand.
    Redhat is so advanced that on an install of any library package it forgets to 
    run ldconfig automatically.  The user is left to his own wits !!
C.  Most of the java routines in Netscape still seem to be dependant on libc5.
D.  Try to convert the Debian wrapper script using 'alien' and use the same to
    install the pre-compiled binaries of Netscape/Communicator.
