ut2004 run problem

[fnshman]

I am running fc5 x86-64. I have installed ut2004 retail. when I try to run the game, I get an error message {./ut2004-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: wrong ELF class: ELFCASS32 }
I'm a newbie linux user, so please be as specific as you can.

MSI K8N NEO4
Athlon64 3000+
512mb dual channel
ATI Radeon X300 PCIe w/256mb

Thanks

Hello:
You likely are missing some files
yum install libstdc++*
and or
yum install compat-libstdc++*
should do it.
If this does not help you may need to have a look in your /home/ut2004/System/ folder there are or should be 2 or 3 files, (I think there are only 2???) which are named "ut2004-bin-linux-amd64" and a "ucc-bin-linux-amd64" you can do a search of the System folder for amd64 to confirm.
These files need to be renamed "ut2004-bin" and "ucc-bin" respectively so the executable is pointing at the correct 64bit files.
Note: Both ut2004-bin and ucc-bin already exist (for 32 bit) so you will have to rename them something first or move them. You should also fully patch-up the game to the latest before you do this.
Then restart the game and it should be good go.

OK, I installed ECE Bonus pak, then installed 3369.2 patch.
No luck, still getting same error message.

Hello:
Did you rename the files as noted above?
I think the error is related to the executable ut2004, which by default is calling the 32 bit application.
Since you are running 64bit you need to rename those files as I described above.

sorry, I did rename those files, just forgot to mention it.

Hello:
I no longer have my 64bit FC5 installed (in favour of FC6) so I cannot reproduce the error that you are getting.
As I am only going from memory here, I would suggest double checking the files noted above as it sounds like it is still calling the 32 bit and not the 64 bit.
That is what the ELFCASS32 means?

I uninstalled, cleaned up files, and reinstalled game, bonus pak, and patch. (in that order) renamed ucc-bin to 1ucc-bi1, then renamed ut2004-bin to 1ut2004-bi1. Then renamed ucc-bin-linux-amd64 to ucc-bin, and ut2004-bin-linux-amd64 to ut2004-bin. I first got an error message telling me libstc++.so.5 didn't exist. I found it in /usr/lib. ut2k4 seems to be looking for it in /usr/lib64. One of the other forums said to create a link in /lib64 that points to /lib. When I do I get the "wrong ELFCLASS" error.

OK, I gave up on ut2004 and started seaching for codecs for mplayer to play my dvds. I had to upgrade quite a few files to do so. In the prosess, I noticed libs being updated, so I went back to ut2004, and lo and behold, it installed and starts without the "ELFCLASS32" error.
UNFORTUNATLY, I get through the ut2004 splash screen, and in terminal I see an error flash about a sound problem, the screen goes blank, and I can't seem to get back from the blank screen. My question is this "Is there a way to see the output in terminal after a reboot to see what exactly the error is, or is there a way to run the program so I can see terminal all the time? Rebooting seems to be the only way to get out, and then I can't see the error message. It disapears too fast before going blank.

Good News!!!
I got direct rendering working, after searching for months, and ut2004 works like a charm.
Thank you all for the help.
