Yeah, go to the directory with the library, and make a symlink.

        # ln -s libstdc++-3-libc6.1-2-2.10.0.so libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3
                    ^or whatever the real name of the library is

libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3 comes from glibc 2.2 (that's what
slackware-current/7.2 uses) Redhat 7 comes with glibc 2.1.92 (or 96, I forget,
I don't use Redhat). You might need to upgrade glibc. I'm not definately sure
about this, because I don't use linux too much (I preferr FreeBSD).

The better alternative is to compile it. That makes sure that you won't have
those dependency errors. Of course for the config tool you need QT 2.0+, but
you should have it.
