Actually, not quite.
The issues is, is that CF5 uses the redhat 6.2 libs by default now.
Around the 6.2 timeline Redhat was starting to make pretty severe patch
revisions onto the trees.
Then comes 7.0... Etc
Basically, You could install the old Libstdc++ package from rh6.2,
but in reality, there is a _reason_ why you want to run more recent
revisions, not the least of which is the new thread fixes. (Esp. new
libpthread which comes with the glibc update), etc.
My policy is generally newer=better (Yeah, I know, bad thing, yadda
yadda) but in most cases when it comes to libraries, new ones are good.
ESP! With the Lib system.
Anyways, as I said, YMMV (your mileage might vary). I didn't find my
instructions to be that daunting or difficult. The hardest part was fixing
the box up to woody, and a lack of a working VIM system. Other than that it
was smooth as cake.
And the reason WHY you _MUST_ install the compat-libstdc++ packages
is simple, Redhat renamed and altered things, and CF doesn't recognize the
new naming sequence. This is for backwards-compatibility with anything in
the 6.x tree.
Ah well, it's not supported anyways. =] I'm going to go finish on
hacking on the latest revision of Slackware.

It actually dont have to be that complicated.
I have been running CF under debian since its first release on the linux
plattform. Currently we have 6 computers running debian and CF4 and 5.
Since CF and RedHat (dont ask me why) uses an old libstdc library that
Debian no longer ships with by default you just have to install the old
library.
This means that you will be running multiple versions of the libstdc
library.
The installation will then work without generating any errors.
After that you just have to manually put the right module in httpd.conf and
create startupscripts in the rcX.d directories.
About 3 steps that take maybe 5-15 minutes depending on your internet
access. =)
