If this is the old, long-unmaintained libg++, I think you are out of
    luck. 

You can still get libg++ from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libg++/ , but it
    does not compile with current gcc.

I suggest you try contacting your linux distro insearch of a
    libgpp.src.rpm, or whatever they call the source rpm.
