Linux and system requirements

The Standard C++ Library is required to run Opera for Linux. This library is a nightmare to statically link to a project. After some thought, we've decided that instead of linking it, we'd prefer to specify where it can be found. Most Linux distributions have it available. On Debian or Debian-based distributions you can install it by typing something like apt-get install libstdc++6. You can also get this library from most Linux vendors, or you can download and compile it from gcc.gnu.org/libstdc++/.

You also need to have an X11 implementation installed. If you download a package with Opera dynamically linked to Qt, read this article about dynamic Qt.
