suggestion for Galeon FAQ

Hello,

First off thanks everybody for working on Galeon, which is the
best browser I've ever used.

I'm writing after spending the past couple of days trying to
get the Java plugin working in Galeon/Mozilla on my Debian
Linux PC.  The information provided in the Galeon FAQ got me
headed in the right direction, but is incomplete.  It does not
mention that the libjavaplugin_oji.so plugin is dependent upon
the glibc2.1 version of libc++; this is important information
because some distributions (Debian unstable) ship with
glibc2.2 by default, and the older version of the library must
be installed explicitly for the plugin to work.  (In the case
of Debian, the package to be installed is
(libstdc++2.9-glibc2.1).  I stumbled across this information
at http://mozilla.weebeastie.net/java.shtml which explains how
to troubleshoot and fix these library problems.

Anyway, you might want to add a note in the FAQ about required
versions of libc++, espescially since it's not at all obvious
why the plugin doesn't work otherwise.


Regards,
Steve Harvey
