I stuck my Netscape executables in /usr/X11R6/bin, because that
directory is in the path already. The nls/* files of course have to go
where specified.

Some versions of Netscape have needed or wanted to deal with /usr/X11/*
instead of /usr/X11R6/* . I stuck in a symlink and have had no problems.

I'm currently running NS3.0 on a FreeBSD 2.1R platform, and get no
warning messages. If you still get them, please state what they are.
