Hi,

libstdc++ is not the problem with failure to compile, although it was
a problem for the binary kit.  I have libstdc++.so.2.8.0 (which is
STANDARD on RedHat 5.2).  Apparently since the ROOT team is using a
more recent version of egcs than is standard on RH 5.2, also a new
libstdc++ is needed.

The ROOT team should not advertise that binary kit as being
appropriate for RH 5.2.  It is only appropriate for a *modified*
RH 5.2 system.

I have also in the meantime tried the Makefile->Makefile.linux
solution which worked even less well.
