[plug] rpm install of older packages

[Anne Busby]

I am try to install lyx (latex editor), but it is requesting
libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3, I have found the rpm
(libstdc++2.95.1_2.10.0-3) that contains this but but get a conflict
messages when I try to install it, as I already have a later version on
my box (RedHat 7.3). 

Should I ignore the conflict and install the package (and what are the
system consequences of this) or is there a way of just adding the
library file required to my system so lyx can be installed.

Of if I force install of lyx, will it work with the current version of
the library file ??
