If I need libstdc++.so.5
and I have:
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.8

to symlink is it
$ ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6  /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5

or

$ ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5  /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6

Which ever is the correct method, shoul the higest version of the file
be used ala: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.8 ?
