Hi,

| 
| V6.07
| ferret: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5: version 'GLIBCPP_3.2.2' not found
| ferret: /lib/i686/libpthread.so.0: Version "GLIBC_2.3.2" not found
| 
| V5.81:
| ferret: /lib/i686/libpthread.so.0: Version "GLIBC_2.3.2" not found

This usually indicates that you don't have the correct versions of
the libraries: libstdc++.so.5, libpthread.so.0 .  1) One solution
is to obtain and install those libraries.  2) Another is to try a
statically-linked version of Ferret.

For solution 1, you can check which versions are required by

   $ ldd /usr/local/bin/ferret_v602

if your ferret is V6.02 and installed in /usr/local/bin/  .
Here is my output (elided):

   $ ldd /usr/local/bin/ferret_v602
     [ . . . ]
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/i686/cmov/libpthread.so.0 (0x40166000)
     [ . . . ]
        libstdc++.so.5 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 (0x40480000)
     [ . . . ]

To find necessary libraries, you can google them by name.

Hope this helps.
