libstdc++.so.5 howto ...

[Kiffin Gish]

I guess what I was trying to say is that I am very confused about all this
linux compatible stuff. I noticed there are many emulator ports for red hat,
suse, etc. and it is not clear to me which strategy to use. There's even an
Xfree linux compat in there, what for?

If I have an executable complaining that it cannot find libstdc++.so.5, what
can I do?

Perhaps there is a useful guide out there someplace, the FreeBSD handbook
chapter on the subject is very short.
