Comment #24 on issue 15984 by rklloyd: /usr/local/lib/libstdc++.so.6:  
version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=15984

I'm a bit surprised by Google's stance on this - RHEL 5.4 (and CentOS 5.4)  
is *not*
an "older distro" - it was released only months ago and has new features  
compared to
5.0-5.3 (despite thestig erroneously claiming that it's "5.0+fixes"). It is  
*not* in
the same boat as "Win 2K, PPC Macs, and OS X < 10.5" because unlike those,  
it is the
very latest release of the world's most popular commercial Linux, not that  
Google's
developers seem to have realised this.

I'll leave you with a sobering thought - Mozilla have successfully released  
binaries
for Firefox, Thunderbird and Seamonkey that have not only worked on the  
latest
RHEL/CentOS/Fedora releases, but often on several older releases too. If  
they can do
this, why can't Google? I'm still incredulous that Google can dismiss the  
world's
most popular commercial Linux distro so easily. BTW, why not provide a  
static build
of the Google Chrome binaries along with the dynamic ones? That way,  
the "dependency
hell" should be much reduced and there's a good chance of "older distro"  
(!!)
compatibility.
