I had this error when installing realplayer. My understanding is that
your distro ships with one version of libstdc++, but your dmd was
compiled with a different one. In my case (ubuntu -- debian based) the
solution was to install a package named libstdc++5 using my standard
package manager. Then everything worked.

Hope it helps.
