I got around to trying to download and install Opera 9.64 GCC4.  Would not 
run.  Missing libstdc++.so.6.  In /usr/lib I found libstdc++.so.5.  Could I 
symlink libstdc++.so.6 to libstdc++.so.5?  Are these too different?  Would it 
be better to download a libstdc++.so.6?  Did a Google on these file names.  
Either libstdc++.so.6.0.3 or libstdc++.so.6.0.8 might work?

Also, syntax for the symlink command?  Thanks, Terry M.
