Need help quick, compiler/file problem.

Hey guys,
I just finished coding my first program in c++ and now I am getting this error when I try to run the executable file:


ld.so.1: printqexe: fatal: libstdc++.so.5: open failed: No such file or directory


I don't know much about c++ so I have no clue what this means. I have to turn this assignment in in 3 hours so time is sort of critical.

Thanks in advance,

Alex

Heres a little background info.

Compiler: GNU g++ (not sure what version)
OS: Unix
I am on using a telnet client to access my school's unix server.

Sounds more like OS trouble than code trouble.
There are diff versions of "libstdc++.so.X" where X is a diff number.

You say you are not sure what version of the compiler you are using, so I would guess you would not know how to make a symbolic link to the appropriate version you have?

If it is not any Unix specific code try compiling it on a Windows or Linux box and see what happens.
If it is not too big of a code, and it is ok to post it, do so. Maybe I am completely wrong with what I think the trouble is.

Here is the code:
First file:

  naivepq.c */

/**
  Function: addjob
  Usage: retval = addjob(printq,numjobs);
  This function assigns adds a new job to the printq. If there
  are already MAX_JOBS in the print queue, the retval is set
  to 0 indicating failure: the queue is full and a new job
  cannot be added and numjobs remains unchanged.
  If the queue is not full, the function calls assignjobid
  to obtain a unique id for the new job. The user is then prompted
  for other details about the job:
  kind -> TEXT, IMAGE, HTML, POSTSCRIPT or OTHERS
  pages -> number of pages
  who -> job owner
  duration -> calculated as follows: TEXT 3 seconds/page, IMAGE 6
              seconds/page, HTML 3 seconds/page, POSTSCRIPT 4
              seconds/page, OTHERS 7 seconds/page
  The numjobs reference parameter is incremented by 1 and all other
  jobs are shifted one position to the right. The new job is placed
  at the back of the queue (index 0). The function returns 1.
  @param printq the array that represents the printer queue
  @param numjobs the current number of jobs in the queue
  @return returns 1 on success or 0 on failure.
 */
int addjob(job printq[], int& numjobs);

/**
  Function: canceljob
  Usage: retval = canceljob(printq,numjobs, jobid);
  This function cancels a job that has been submitted
  to the print queue. The function checks to determine
  whether the job id exists. If the job id is invalid, the
  function returns 0. Otherwise, it deletes the job from
  the queue by shifting every job succeeding the job one
  position back, reduces the reference parameter numjobs
  by 1 and returns 1 indicating success.
  @param printq the array that represents the printer queue
  @param numjobs the current number of jobs in the queue
  @param jobid a unique integer between 1 and 0 representng
          the job identification number.
  @return returns 1 on success or 0 on failure.
 */
int canceljob(job printq[], int& numjobs, int jobid);

/**

  the print queue. If the queue is empty, the
  the function returns 0 indicating failure.
  Otherwise, it deletes the job from the queue by
  reducing the reference parameter numjobs
  by 1 and returns 1 indicating success.
  @param printq the array that represents the printer queue
  @param numjobs a reference parameter representing the
          current number of jobs in the queue
  @return returns 1 on success or 0 on failure.
 */
int servicejob(job printq[], int& numjobs);

/**

  currently on the queue, one job per line
  using the following format:
  id -- who -- pages -- duration -- kind (in words)
  If the queue is empty, the function prints a
  message indicating that there aren't any jobs on
  the queue.
  @param printq the array that represents the printer queue
  @param numjobs the current number of jobs in the queue
  @return none.

And that is all of them.

Compiler: GNU g++ (not sure what version)
Try g++ -v

OS: Unix
Try uname -a

Before trying a real program, how about starting with

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main ( ) {
  cout << "hello world" << endl;
}

---

To make sure your compiler is at least installed correctly in it's most basic form.
