Think this will sort you out :

Quote :
"Stupid Maple! Assuming you have a libstdc++ installed, work around by
creating a symlink with the name that it wants:

 ln -sf /usr/lib/libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so
/usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2

If you're running a recent Ubuntu, you may have to explicitly install
the libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 package."
