I downloaded the pre-compiled Linux binary and used "ldd", perhaps the 
problem is that my computer needs a different version of libstdc++?

$ ldd linux-dg
        libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x4001c000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40032000)
        libutil.so.1 => /lib/libutil.so.1 (0x40037000)
        libpam.so.0 => /lib/libpam.so.0 (0x4003b000)
        libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 => not found
        libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x40043000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
        libaudit.so.0 => /lib/libaudit.so.0 (0x4016d000)
$ ls /usr/lib/*stdc*
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6  /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.3
