R version, operating system, who installed R and how? It looks to be as if you probably installed a Unix/Linux binary version and do not have netscape installed (and the installation failed to check this).
The simplest answer is to install netscape in /usr/bin. The next simplest answer is to alter R_BROWSER in R_HOME/etc/Renviron or to set R_BROWSER to point to a valid browser. However, you really ought to take this up with whoever installed your version of R, for the installation is faulty.
