I can't get mozilla to run. I think I have everything I need, from
what I could gather from strace's output (more precisely, from this:
strace mozilla 2> err ; grep open err), but it keeps saying "error
while loading shared libraries: cannot open shared object file: cannot
load shared object file: No such file or directory." Any help?

Try running ldconfig, also see if the libraries that it's talking 
about are in /etc/ld.so.config, and see if the directories of 
those files are in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH, just type: 
echo ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH} 

And it'll tell you what it's got in it. 

Chances are that the libraries are there, but they're not quite where
the program thinks they are.

Try "ldd mozilla" to see what libraries it needs. ldd will tell you which
of them can't be found.
  If that library *is* installed in your system, you'll need to either
copy/link it to some directory mentioned in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH or you
have to add that directory to it.

"mozilla" is typically a shell script wrapper.  Also, ldd doesn't search
your path, so you need to do something like ldd `which mozilla-bin`

Peter: what distribution are you running, and where did you get your
mozilla from?

Gosh, why didn't I think of that! Thanks, Warp, I fixed it. I quite
like the browser already :)

The missing libraries were all GTK related... turns out I didn't have
GTK. I thought I did as I run GVim but obviously I must have built it
with the Motif GUI (and it looks like Motif, too) and not GTK. Anyway,
all is fine now. (P.S. Of course I only installed what I needed :) )
