It seems like the person who made the RPM installations didn't do a very good
job.  The person who creates an RPM has to be sure to determine all the
dependencies of the package.  Detecting the dependencies of a simple ELF
executable is as easy as running "ldd" on the executable.  But when you are
working with a program that loads object code at run-time and after load-time,
tracking down dependencies becomes less obvious.  Dependency issues become even
more subtle when you have a program that executes an external program.  You
should submit a bug report to the person who made your mozilla and galeon RPMs.
