Don't know if this will help, but NS7 needs to have the variable changed 
from LANG=en_US.iso885915 to LANG=en_US when run from a shell. 
Otherwise, it never starts. As to the libgkgfx.so problem, I have two.
[andy at charliebrown andy]$ locate libgkgfx.so
/usr/lib/mozilla-1.1a/libgkgfx.so
[andy at charliebrown andy]$ ls -l /usr/local/netscape/libgkgfx.so
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       165744 Aug 23 07:49
/usr/local/netscape/libgkgfx.so
[andy at charliebrown andy]$ ls -l /usr/lib/mozilla-1.1a/libgkgfx.so
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       210444 Jul  2 09:48 
/usr/lib/mozilla-1.1a/libgkgfx.so

Actually the netscape script calls run-mozilla.sh IIRC.
