In fact it is not a problem because the machines either do not have
libstdc++.so at all or they have an older version. Remember that the
libstdc++.so that OpenOffice needs is newer than the libstdc++ that
installed out-of-the-box with RedHat 7.3, the preferred beginners distro.

As I said above, there is no problem using ld.so.conf because there is no
library redundancy. The problem with your method is that is assumes that
the beginner knows what script to write, or for that matter, knows how to
write a script, chmod +x and test it. My method doesn't require that level
of competence (like knowing what LD_LIBRARY_PATH is) from someone who just
wants to try out IBM's bidi openoffice.
