[FWTools] successful FWTools 0.9.8 installation on RHEL 3

[Rich Signell]

To get FWTools 0.9.8 running on my Linux Box (RHEL3) I had to make a soft link 
from my existing libstdc++ shared library to the one FWTools was looking for:

$ openev
  Default software rendering mode (use -h if accelerated video card
  installed). Traceback (most recent call last):
     File "/usr/local/fwtools/bin/../pymod/openev.py", line 80, in ?
       import gviewapp
     File "/usr/local/fwtools/bin/../pymod/gviewapp.py", line 133, in ?
       import gtkmissing
     File "/usr/local/fwtools/bin/../pymod/gtkmissing.py", line 2, in ?
       import _gtkmissing
  ImportError: libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No
  such file or directory


So I did:

$ locate libstdc++-libc
/usr/local/matlabr13/sys/os/glnx86/libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3
/usr/local/matlabr13/sys/os/glnx86/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
/home/rsignell/models/delft3d/intel/quickplot/matlab-libs/bin/glnx86/libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3

$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/matlabr13/sys/os/glnx86/libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3 
/usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2

Then OpenEV worked!
