Hmmm... First, I wasn't aware that apt-get could install .tar.gz files ;-? Are you sure it hasn't jusrt grabbed the netscape package from the internet once again? Well, anyway... try running ¨netscape¨ from a xterm and see what's the system's output (if Netscape doesn't start, the system WILL tell you something about it - either a ¨command not found¨ (in which case you should add a link to netscape in the /usr/local/bin directory) or a ¨libc.so.6 not found¨ (in which case you should check if glibc is installed and the links OK) or even a ¨bus error¨, ¨segmentation fault¨ or some other error message (in which case, I'm sorry to say you should just uninstall your netscape and try installing it once again - maybe just doing a: tar -xvvzf navigator-v461-export.x86-unknown-linuxglibc2.0.tar.gz then changing to the directory tar creates and running ¨install¨ or something (the script that comes with netecape) Hope this helps!
