this is normal (with libstdc++-v3 as well), I can't comment on the

I'm not sure how to help you, but there are only a few options as far
as I know:
  
  1) compile the c++ library statically into the binary and the shared
     object file will not be used at all. the compiler switch for this
     is '-static'.
  2) add ${prefix}/lib (in your case /usr/local/lib) to your system's
     linker search path (i.e., /etc/ld.so.conf if you're on a linux
     box, I can't offer any advice for any commercial *NIX)
  3) contact the packager of the binary gcc you installed, as they 
     can most likely help you with option #2

hth.
