The signal to noise ratio of this list is getting quite horrible.

From the 2nd post (different thread) by the OP it's quite obvious he's looking 
for a package containing the file "libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3".

He already got an answer to that "compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-138".

What he didn't get was how you find that kind of information.

pbone.net is certainly _NOT_ the way to find a package for your CentOS-5. yum 
search/provides on the system itself is the way to go.

 # yum provides libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
 ...
 compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-138.i386 : Compatibility 2.96-RH standard C++
                                   : libraries
 Repo        : base
 Matched from:
 Other       : libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
