I just installed Ubuntu on my computer and have been trying to install byond. I followed the readme.txt and make instructions but it still doesn't seem to be working.
I wanted to do a personal install so I,
1.) make here
(at /home/bwilkins/byond)
2.) source /home/bwilkins/byond/bin/byondsetup
(in terminal)
3.) source /home/bwilkins/byond/bin/byondsetup
(in etc/profile which is the startup script it talks about right?)

But then when I try to run the statement, "bwilkins@dekstop:~/byond$ DreamDaemon host/host.dmb" it gives me the following.
DreamDaemon: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

In searching the forums I came across a post of Mike H's so maybe the details of it will help figure out my problem.

From another post in the past of a person missing libstdc++.so.5. Mike H posted a link to another post about adding libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 to the same folder that byondlib.so or something like that was in. But after adding that file to the bin folder where the byondlib.so is located it still doesn't run right.

Thanks for any help. I wanted to move to linux but if linux woun't load byond I hate it :(
