relocating libstdc++.so.5?

[Tim Speltz]

I'm running an older Linux build, 7.something, but i'd like to use the 
newer UT2004 patches with the new maps, and the nre Red Orchestra. These 
require libstdc++.so.5 to be in /usr/lib/

My older Linux stores all that stuff in /usr/local/lib/ ... which I 
don't have write access to since I'm not root, can't be root, and 
shouldn't even bother asking for root.

Is there a way to get UT2004 to look elsewhere for libstdc++ than /usr ? 
I tried just copying libstdc++.so.5 from a newer Linux build to my 
UT2004/System dir, but it didn't help. I grep'ed my env for likely env 
variables, but found nothing.

Thanks,
  Tim
