You need the older libstdc  , as the library has been changing dramatically
between recent versions. On RedHat, SuSE and Mandrake systems there are
packages with "compat" in the name which provide (amongst other things) an
older libstdc  . I haven't the faintest idea what Debian calls theses packages,
but yes, you do ned an older library version.
