Hi Brian,

Thanks! The problem solved when i use the port (downloaded from
FreeBSD)... 

Then i want to ask a question about the differences between the
installation methods below:

Method 1) 
Move the file "netscape-v301-export.x86-unknown-bsd.tar.gz" to directory
"/usr/ports/distfile"
Then extract the port and "make install"

Method 2)
Just extract "netscape-v301-export.x86-unknown-bsd.tar.gz" to "/tmp"
Then "install -c -m [files] [directory]"

Thanks!

Regards,
Wong Chin Pang
