Ubuntu - Updater Problem

[Wells]

I\'m a bit of a linux noob so bear with me here.  Hopefully this makes some sense.

After a successful install, I try to run the update program but receive an error telling me that libstdc++.so.5 is not found.  I do have libstdc++.so.6.0.5, so I tried creating a symbolic link from libstdc++.so.6.0.5 to libstdc++.so.5, but the update program didn\'t like that either.  All I can think of now is to load up the older library, but I don\'t know how to do that without erasing the current one.  Anyone know what I can do here?  

Thanks

1. do a search for \'libstdc++\'.

2. mark the package libstdc++5 for install

3. accept any addtional changes, (dependencies)

4. click on the apply all changes button

Or you could type the following in a terminal

sudo apt-get install libstdc++5

then let apt work it\'s magic.

Cheers.
