Apologies if this is OT....

I am no Linux Geek but somehow sometime back I was able to install
Firefox 2.0.0.4 on my RH 9 System. I have now downloaded Firefox
3.0.1 but upon launching I am getting the following error:

error while loading shared libraries: libpangocairo-1.0.so.0: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory



I guess this is only the beginning of my nightmare. I would
appreciate if someone could suggest a way out for someone who is not a
newbie, but not a pro either. Has anyone created a fully contained
tarball for FF3 for Linux for the Pentium processor? That would
certainly help.

I also tried building the source code but I got lots of errors there
as well.

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards,
Nimmi

Distro?
Could this work in Ubuntu?:
sudo apt-get install libpango1.0-0
