George,
/etc/alternatives did not have a link, so I added one using
ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/netscape.
Then I went on to comment out the part of the wrapper that
does not allow the root to run netscape:
#
# Don't allow running netscape as root
#
#if [ $UID -eq 0 -o $EUID -eq 0 ]; then
# echo "$0: Cannot be run an root (for security reasons)"
# exit 1
#fi
So after all of this, I ran netscape:
pussycat:~# netscape
Netscape: Ignoring unsupported netscape contenttype in user
mailcap file.
Warning:
Cannot allocate colormap entry for default background
Warning:
Cannot allocate colormap entry for default background
Bus error
pussycat:~#
It's the same problem as when I ran netscape as a user.
Thanks for your help.
