Which operating system are you using? If it's Linux, which distro?
Which version?

Which error message exactly?

(Unfortunately mankind's ability in guessing such things is rather
limited.)   :-)

* If you are running SUSE Linux 10.0, it is part of a package called 
  "compat-libstdc++". 

* If you are running SUSE Linux 9.x, it is part of a package called 
  "libstdc++". 

* If you are running (K)Ubuntu or $Debian, it's a package called 
  "libstdc++5".

More I don't know. More precise answers you'd get faster if you 
provided precise info about your problem+environment.

Why don't you use the pre-build packages of your distro vendor?

I'm a newbie to your system, and I'm feeling lost too, because I
know nothing about it.
