[OU] Install opera on Fedora 7 via RPM?

Greetings.  I recently downloaded:

     opera-9.22-20070716.6-shared-qt.i386-en.rpm

from:

     http://www.opera.com/download/linux/

where the sign says:

     Fedora Core 5, Core 6, Core 7

I tried installing it on a system running Fedora 7 (no "core"):

     # cat /etc/redhat-release
     Fedora release 7 (Moonshine)

but I get the following error:

     # rpm -Uvh opera-9.22-20070716.6-shared-qt.i386-en.rpm
     error: Failed dependencies:
         libstdc++.so.5 is needed by opera-9.22-20070716.6.i386

The library in question IS installed, albeit with a newer version:

     # locate libstdc++.so
     /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6
     /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.8
     /usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/4.1.2/libstdc++.so

Is there some standard way to fix this?  Thanks.

					- Mike
