How can I get GLIBCXX_3.4.15 in Ubuntu? I can't run some programs that I'm compiling.

When I do:

strings /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 | grep GLIBC

I get:

GLIBCXX_3.4
GLIBCXX_3.4.1
GLIBCXX_3.4.2
GLIBCXX_3.4.3
GLIBCXX_3.4.4
GLIBCXX_3.4.5
GLIBCXX_3.4.6
GLIBCXX_3.4.7
GLIBCXX_3.4.8
GLIBCXX_3.4.9
GLIBCXX_3.4.10
GLIBCXX_3.4.11
GLIBCXX_3.4.12
GLIBCXX_3.4.13
GLIBCXX_3.4.14
GLIBC_2.2.5
GLIBC_2.3
GLIBC_2.4
GLIBC_2.3.4
GLIBC_2.3.2
GLIBCXX_FORCE_NEW
GLIBCXX_DEBUG_MESSAGE_LENGTH

Thanks for any help!

I'm compiling gcc 4.6 from source, and apparently

sudo make install

didn't catch this one. I dug around and found

gcc/trunk/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3/src/.libs/libstdc++.so.6.0.15

I copied it in to /usr/lib and redirected libstdc++.so.6 to point to the new one, and now everything works.
