Unstable means that the packages actually get upgraded. With stable, all
you get is security fixes.

But stable _does_ have libstdc++.so.5; you must not have it installed.

apt-get install libstdc++5

(If you got the package as source code, you will need build-essential;
 that will pull in stuff you need for installing from sourcecode,
 including libstdc++5-dev, etc.)
