Wow, I fixed it, but it was a weird fix. Turns out I need a symlink
from libstdc++.so.6.0.9 to libstdc++.so.6 in the lib directory for the
gcc shipped with OpenFOAM.

This was a very unpleasant installing experience. I can't even imagine
how to package this for Debian. I will research this matter further.

Btw, are there any licensing problems with ParaView? Wiki says it's
free, and since OpenFOAM seems to have a ParaView component, it would
be nice to get that packaged too.
