Neither 'libg++.so', nor 'libstdc++.so' were found where the current
implementation expects them to be found in the distros below.


Gentoo Linux
Debian 6.0.10
Oracle Linux Server release 7.1

The proposed implementation relies on 'ldconfig' to locate the libraries
in question.  'Sed' is used to do the text processing.
