[SM-Discuss] Library stuff

Ok guys - not strictly spell related, but I'm sure someone can help out.

I'm trying to install a copy of VTEX in /usr/local/ - not worried about
it being a spell; I sometimes share my /usr/local tree between linux
distros so it needs to be standalone.

On loading (it's binary only) it fails with a message:

vtexlnx: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Now, I'm guessing that this has something to do with it being compiled
with gcc2 and not gcc3.  However, I really want to use this program, so
is there a way I can get it to run?  The library does exist in
/opt/gcc2/lib, but it's not finding it.  I'm loath to add that path to
/etc/ld.so.config in case it breaks other gcc stuff.

Ideas?

Thanks all

jack
