bookshare.org unpack

[Trevor Astrope]

In my experience the missing library problem is usually solved with one of 
the compat packages if using fedora/redhat. The compat-libstdc++ or 
compat-gcc packages are often helpful. Not sure what the equivelant 
packages would be for other distros though...

Hope that helps,

Trevor
