Netscape 7 on Solaris9 helper apps do not start

Hi,

I have Netscape Communicator 7.0 on Solaris-9, and want to configure a
helper app to view PostScript files, but they fail with a popup (from
NS)

   "/tmp/SL210_211_OH.ps could not be opened, because an unknown error
occured. Sorry about that. Try saving to disk first and then opening the
file."

The file "/tmp/SL210_211_OH.ps" exists on disk, and in my preferences of
NS I have put

Extension: ps
File-type: application/ps
Handled by: /usr/local/bin/gv %s

When I try to view this PS file from my browser, the browser shows a
popup telling me that it's downling the PS file and will open it with
the help application '/usr/local/bin/gv %s', but then I get the popup
error msg, and if I run "ls -lu /usr/local/bin/gv" I see that this
program is not even accessed!

I even did launch my browser from the command line with the "-debug"
option, but that doesn't print any messages after the browser started
up.

How to debug this any further?

Rob
