On my system the correct libs are installed, but witches and wizards are everywhere...

If you don't want to reinstall, try this:
Code:
cd /usr/lib 
ls libstdc*so*
Remember the name of the listed file e.g. libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
If no file is listed, you must reinstall, because important files are missing.
Code:
ln -s libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2
This is a solution if the used subroutines have not changed from version 6.1.1 to 6.2.2.

Good luck!
