libstdc++.so.5 is needed by xxx

Trying to install the IBM JDK 64bit I came across the following error:

libstdc++.so.5 is needed by ibm-java2-x86_64-sdk-5.0-8a.0.x86_64

It turns out that yum has a neat feature to show what package provides a given component:

yum whatprovides libstdc++.so.5

gave the answer, and

yum install compat-libstdc++-33.i386

took care of installingthe missing package.
