netscape = going crazy! help!

I've recently installed a newer vesion of netscape and am having several
problems with it.  

1.) BackSpace key doesn't work.  I've tried messing with xmodmap and remapping
it but that didn't work other.  (either) can't backsapce

2.) I get tons and tons of errors on start looking like this:

warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfLeft
Warning: ... found while parsing '      ~Meta ~Alt ~Ctrl<Key>osfLeft
Columnleft()

this it said on start:

This is usually because the proper XKeysymDB=08file was not found.
You can set the $XKEYSYMDB environment viariable to the location of a file
which contains the right keysyms.

without the right XKeysymDB, many warnings will be generated, and most keyboard
accelerators will not work.

(an appropriate XKEysymDB file was included with the Netscape distribution.)

then it gives me tons and tons of those errors that I described before.

my current C=08XKeysymDB file is in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/, and is the one that came
with netscape.  

ideas? :)

scuse my poor spelling and sloppy letter, my backspace key does NOT work :)
