Local Mozilla 1.7 works, NFS one does not

Hi 

I've installed Mozilla 1.7 as shown below onto a Ultra 10 running
Solaris 9.
I put the files under /usr/temp and when I run Mozilla
(/usr/temp/mozilla/mozilla) , it works fine
(I do get a patch checker message about the Japanese Iconv patch but
can't download it from Sunsolve)

Now, /usr/local is shared out from our main file server to all the
workstations (Including my ultra10) so I redid the same install on the
file server but did not add the patches since a).Mozilla was NOT going
to be run ON the server and b). I could not reboot the server will its
being used by others.

So when I now run /usr/local/mozilla/mozilla, on the Ultra 10, the
prompt just comes back, no errors, no patch checker screen, no nothing
!!

Since /usr/local was mounted before and Mozilla works when I call it
from /usr/temp, then the only difference is I'm calling it over a NFS
mount
Both mozilla dir's are set to r-xr-xr-x.

Can Mozilla work from a NFS share ?

Thanks in advance
