Gah!  There are quite a few.  Still, some of these I'll already have so
it's still a case of installing libraries one by one :(

Do you (or anyone!) know exactly how to go about installing some of these
Linux libraries?  I mean, I can't just go and download libgmodule-2.0.so.0
and install it, can I?  If so, how, or where do I need to go to get them?

I guess I was kind of thinking, and I hate to use the analagy, of DLLs.
Being able to go and find one of these libraries, install it into my Linux
compat/lib directory and then run the application.


Cheers.
