This may be of some help to someone who's having problems getting 
Apollon working.

I installed it using apt/synaptic, and it starts up fine, and I can 
connect to OpenFT if it's the only plugin enabled.  If I enable 
Gnutella, or FastTrack, it just errors out.  

---------------------------------
*** GIFT-FATAL: unable to start 'FastTrack', no idea why (hopefully 
the protocol provided some info)
*** Often times more information can be found in the log file or with 
the -v command line switch.
-------------------------------

So... dug up the log file, and it was complaining that I didn't have 
the FastTrack config in $HOME/.giFT  According to the log it was 
trying to to copy it from /usr/local/share/giFT   But.. from what I 
could tell it wasn't actually copying anything.  So.. I had to 
manually copy the config file for each plugin I installed via apt.

Restarted Apollon, and can connect to all networks I've installed/
enabled plugins for.

Hope this helps....
