This is a symlink on my box:
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root     31 2003-07-12 18:00 libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3 
-> libstdc++-3-libc6.1-2-2.10.0.so

So, check to see if /usr/lib/libstdc++-3-libc6.1-2-2.10.0.so exists, and 
if so, create the symlink:

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

If the file does not exist, apt-file shows which package it's in:

> enjae[westk]:/usr/lib> apt-file search libstdc++-3-libc6.1-2-2.10.0
> libstdc++2.10: usr/lib/libstdc++-3-libc6.1-2-2.10.0.so

So download " libstdc++2.10" manually (or look in 
/var/cache/apt/archives for it) and then install it manually with "dpkg 
-i libstdc++2.10".

Now, hopefully, you're back in business.
