Hi,
I don't use RHEL, but I guess the problem is that IDL was compiled against
a different standard C++ library. On SuSE 9.0, this problem is solved by a
'compatibility' RPM, which contains different versions of the standard C++
library. Probably RHEL has something similar. As a dirty trick, you can
try
ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
regards,
lajos

Well, I should have done a bit more digging. Apparently when the default
shell is tcsh, you need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH, e.g.
% setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/lib
and the problem goes away.
Cheers,
Liam.

In RH9 and FC1 that library is in compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.118.i386.rpm
I don't have RHEL, but there's a good chance the RPM will be the same.
Not that the demo is likely to work, though...
