How do I build an rpm of galeon
Answer:
Binary builds of galeon are depend on the exact version of mozilla that it was used to build against. If you are using an rpm based distro then you best option is to build the binary rpm yourself.
Download the source code then as root (or your prefered rpmbuild user) run "rpmbuild -tb galeon-
.tar.bz2". For this to work you must have the mozilla-devel rpm installed as well as the main rpm.
NOTE: Due to recent changes of which version of gtk was used to build mozilla you might have more luck using galeon-1.3.X rather than galeon-1.2.x
