I found a non-RPM (finally!) copy of libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 in the
Slackware distribution. I copied it into /usr/lib, and my commands
seem to work fine now. Using ldd(1), I determined that none of the
other missing library files are needed by my system except for
lib[cm].so.5 and libstdc++.so.27, and although the links with those
names were gone, fortunately the underlying files weren't, and I was
able to resolve all of the library dependency problems by putting
the files and links back into /usr/lib. Hopefully this won't break
anything in the new libraries. (Right?)
Thanks to everyone for listening.
