Trouble executing an application that requires libstdc++.so.5

[Venu Satuluri]

I am not sure if I understood you completely. The version I have - 3.0.4 -
is close to the latest one. The application I am trying to run was not
compiled with a libstdc++ newer than 3.0.4, I think. I don't have the
source of the package, so recompiling the source is not an option.
