The older gcc295 version does not require libstdc++.so.6. The gcc 4 
version is for a Slackware newer than 11 (which has gcc 3). There is a 
libstdc++.so.6 from SW11 posted at http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl/ if you 
want to experiment but you will also need glibc from SW11 - SW11libs.tgz. 
I don't know if the GCC4 version will work with SW11 glibc.  You also need 
a 2.4 kernel to use SW11 libraries with.  Later SW needs 2.6 kernel.

Why do you want the GCC4 version?  I doubt it does any more.
It would be helpful to get Opera 10 to work.  10.10 sort of worked (see 
archives) but I had the common-to-linux problem of little squares in some 
places instead of characters.  10.6 would not even load.  Our X server 
does not do locales but that did not stop Seamonkey 1.1 and Opera 9.

ldconfig should make symlinks for you.
