Why do I get errors about libstdc++ missing when I try to launch AcuFieldView?

AcuFieldView requires libstdc++.so.5. This library is present on most Linux systems as part of the GNU C compiler collection. However, newer Linux kernels are updating to libstdc++.so.6, which is not compatible with AcuFieldView. To resolve this issue, users need to install the libstdc++.so.5 library. This can typically be found using the package manager, or by doing a google search for libstdc++ and the name of your Linux flavor/version. These libraries can be downloaded from the various repositories on the web. 

For 64 bit SuSe Linux, the package may be obtained from the following link: 
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/7968158/com/compat-libstdc++-5.0.7-121.1.x86_64.rpm.html 

For Ubuntu and other Debian systems, the following link can be used to search for 'libstdc++.so.5' in the 'Search the contents of packages' field: 
http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages 

A direct link to the debian package download is shown below (contained in the most recent debian version as of the date this is being posted): 
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/libstdc++5
