sstream.h? The ISO C++ committee renamed it to <sstream> years ago (I
  think 1996.)

I do not know of any official rpms for libstdc++. I suggest you get the
  source tarball, from
  ftp:sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/libstdc++/libstdc++2.90.8pre2.tar.gz

Follow the installation instructions carefully; amoung other things you
  will need a build directory of gcc .

I have used <sstream> . I assure you  <sstream> is part of libstdc++-v3 .
