Richard, 

Thanks for the feedback.  Would you be willing to try the 
FWTools 0.9.8.2 linux release and see if it works "out of the box"?
It is the same as 0.9.8 except that I added in newer libtiff/libgeotiff
and more importantly, I added the libstdc++ 6.1 file. 

  http://www.gdal.org/dl/fwtools/FWTools-linux-0.9.8.2.tar.gz

If I get some positive feedback on this cut, I'll make it the official 0.9.8
version pointed to from the main page. 

Best regards,
