For people trying to install the opendx RPMs, the approach
described in my previous message was too complicated.  Here
is a simpler method that works on my RedHat 6.1 system.

0. Download the following three files:

ftp://rawhide.redhat.com/pub/rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS/libstdc++-2.95.2-3.i386.r
pm.
http://opendx.npaci.edu/bin/opendx-4.0.10-1.i386.rpm
http://opendx.npaci.edu/bin/opendx-docs-4.0.10-1.i386.rpm

1. Install the libstdc++-2.95.2-3 RPM *without removing the older
libstdc++-2.9.0-24 RPM*.  That is, use "rpm -i
libstdc++-2.95.2-3.i386.rpm", not "rpm -U ...".  (Upgrading, rather
than installing, can break a lot of other things, and require a lot of
additional upgrading.)

2. Install the opendx and opendx-docs RPMs as usual.

3. Fix some location problems by moving  the contents of /dx/bin_linux to
/usr/local/dx/bin_linux, the contents of /dx/inlude/dx to
/usr/local/dx/include/dx, and the contents of /dx/java/server/dxmacros
to /usr/local/dx/java/server/dxmacros.  You can then remove /dx.

4. Add /usr/local/dx/bin to your path.

Type dx...it should work.
