battlefield 2 server problem

[serene]

Im a Fedora core 4 user, im a linux noob, and i am a game addict...hence the reason im trying to make a battlefield 2 server. I was wondering if any of you had any problems installing BF2 dedicated server for fedora core 4..worse comes to worse, ill have to install windows server 2003...and i really dont wanna do that..

the error i am receiving is
/home/b2/bf2/bin/ia-32/bf2: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5 : cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

now, i followed this tutorial

http://www.firingsquad.com/guides/ba...etup/page5.asp

the only two major differences here are that im using fedora core 4, and hes using gentoo.
our version numbers are slightly different, but that shouldnt have to do with anything...

also, im going to try to use v.1.2, it came out on tuesday but i havent found anyplace that hasn been clobbered with downloads

I would suggest checking out the game server forums here;

Hopefully somebody has some posts for making this work under Linux. Just the cost alone of getting Windows Server 2003 would make me cringe having to consider installing to that.

Here's a neat trick you might want to learn for the next time a similar problem comes up - ask yum if it knows where to find something

yum provides libstdc++.so.5

That will give you the answer - the name of a package you need to install ("compat-libstdc++-33"). Install that by

yum -y install compat-libstdc++-33

and ye shall recieve.
