at startup it was complaining that it needed /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.9  and i 
obviously did not have it.  being the thick headed person i am, i kept 
assuming that it was just not installed.  finally it clicked your 
distribution is just calling it something else.  i checked and not only was 
it there but in the same /usr/lib directory.  so i (as root) did:

ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++-2-libc6.1-1-2.9.0.so /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.9

ln is the basic command
-s means a symbolic link(not hard)
/usr/lib/libstdc++-2-libc6.1-1-2.9.0.so is the path and file on my machine.
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.9 is the path and file that your viewer was looking 
for.


now when you do a "ls -al *.so.2.9" you get: 
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.9 -> /usr/lib/libstdc++-2-libc6.1-1-2.9.0.so
and sha ka kaboom it runs.
