[tex-live] TL2008's otftotfm has some old shared libs dependencies.

You need to install a compatibility library.  On Fedora 8 I have:

$ sudo rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5
Password:
compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-62.i386

The major distros have to support legacy apps and so must provide
appropriate libraries -- the trick is knowing what they are called so you
can install them.
