The .run package is compiled on a rhel3 jail with gcc-3.2 and depends
on libstdc++.so.5. The reason is that this package should be compatible
with a much Linux distributions as possible.

The other Linux packages are compiled within an apropriate jail, for
instance, the Ubuntu Hardy package is compiled with gcc-4.2.3 and
depends on libstdc++.so.6. Which Linux distribution are you using?

Kind regards,

Frank
