I am trying to fix my problem "GLIBCXX_3.4.15" not found, which is fairly well documented to fix. But it requires getting the file "libstdc++.so.6.0.15" from somewhere.
Most of the solutions tell me to get it from the location that I compiled my c++ library from. However, I did not compile it, it came with my Ubuntu installation, and when I do "locate" for that file it is not found.
So, I would like to just download it from somewhere, but I can't find it on the web anywhere. I have tried to look in the svn repo: svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc, but was not able to find it (its huge!)
Any help much appreciated :)

You shouldn't have to manually download this library, if you're on Ubuntu Linux, it should be shipped inside this package :
sudo apt-get install libstdc++6
If you already have libstdc++6, then the problem is elsewhere and you should explain what you're trying to achieve in the first place.
If you want a newer version of libstdc++6 than the one provided in the default package, then you can try to update to the toolchain test package :
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Otherwise you would have to compile GCC from source :
- Install the prerequisite (using
sudo apt-get build-dep gcc-4.7 as instance)
- Get the source from GNU.org
- Compile it using
configure, make and make install
Just realized that was having the similar problem some time ago. Disclaimer: If you know what you are doing, check this repository - Index of /debian/pool/main/g/gcc-4.7. It must be in some of the packages available. Use Archive Manager to get inside.
