[plug] rpm install of older packages

[Paul Dean]

Hya Anne,

Install the other libstdc package `rpm -ivh --nodeps libstdc...`. 
You may need '--force' as well.

libstdc runs beautifully with mulitple versions installed.
I had to do it when I upgraded from gcc-2.96 to gcc-3.1.

Isn't open source great...

Hope this Helps...
