Michael,

Thanks for the assistance. I wasn't familiar with yum but I've tried
the up2date previously with no problems however the last time I tried
(yesterday as a matter of fact) I got a list of updates but for each one
I got a pop-up indicating they did not contain GPL signature.

In any case I was able to find the libstc++ in question and installed
them and everything is working fine at this point (so far as I've
tested).

Also I wasn't aware I hadn't included the version and make I was running
until Peter pointed it out.

Again Thanks,

Jess
