As mentioned, you probably want:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/netscape:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

This is a path variable so the correct syntax is a colon separated list 
of paths.

Looks like regxpcom needs to know where the NS libraries are.  You can 
tell which libraries it's looking for with:

ldd $(which regxpcom)

(or just use the full path to the regxpcom binary rather than the which 
output).

Most Linux systems don't use LD_LIBRARY_PATH, they use /etc/ld.so.cache. 
  After you install NS, you can update this with the ldconfig command 
(and you may have to add NS's path to /etc/ld.so.conf if it is in an odd 
place).  See the ldconfig man page for details.

This program may or may not require the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable, but 
things will probably work better down the road if you run ldconfig on 
the NS libraries.  Or I may be completely wrong.
