Mmmm... I think my point, seeing as I was starting from a clean 32bit
Fedora installation is that there are multiple points where the
compatibility libraries no longer exist. My example would be libc.so.5
which I cheated by symlinking to libc.so.6 - that's not a particularly
valid thing to do.

What I don't understand is where the version you have comes from. The
README file I got with the version I downloaded clearly states that it
is linked against libg++.so.27 - but I have no such library or
anything close - I'd be curious if you do...

[sam@nc10 acl]$ cat README | grep -B11 -A3 libg++
	The program is dynamically linked to the following libraries which
must exist in a path searched by the loader in order to run the program:

	libXt.so.6		(X11R6 tested with 6.0 libraries)
	libXext.so.6
	libX11.so.6
	libc.so.5		(tested with 5.2.18)
	libSM.so.6
	libICE.so.6

	libXpm.so.4		(tested with 4.7)
	libg++.so.27		(tested with 27.1.0 which is actually 2.7.1.0)
	libstdc++.so.27			"
	libm.so.5		(tested with 5.0.5)
