GCC 3 added a requirement of this external C++ runtime, which lots of 
systems at the time didn't include. Apparently new GCCs have moved to 
yet another new runtime, and distros aren't shipping the older one 
anymore by default...so ut2004 is looking for a library you don't have. 
Apparently, you get a 6-12 month window with Linux distributions where 
your binaries will work, otherwise they are too new or too old. That's 
pretty annoying.

Try installing Fedora's compat-libstdc++ package, and it should fix this 
issue.
