From the error message it's obvious that the library with problems
is /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libmch264dec.so.7.4.0.20778 which is from
fluendo. I've never used these, so I don't know how are they installed
(rpm? untar? make?) and what can be done in that matter to fix the
issue. I would wonder if that were via rpm, since rpm should pick up the
libstdc++.so.5 dependency during the build automatically.

Would be nice if PackageKit, or some other dbus service, could pick up
those error messages and offer the user installation of the missing
libraries if they are in repos... But that seems rather like a feature
for F10...
