This version of the C++ library comes with gcc-3.2.3, available (among other places) from ftp.gnu.org. It is included with MATLAB in case your distribution doesn't provide it. If you need the header files to go with it (particularly if you are building C++ mex files) please visit ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gcc and download the 3.2.3 compiler sources. If you have a newer version of libstdc++ on your system already, typically in /usr/lib, you may be able to remove or rename this file and let MATLAB find the one on your own system. If you have problems with this approach, however, we recommend using the same compiler that was used to compile MATLAB, gcc/g++ 3.2.3
