Hi. I have just installed/emerged the Skype. It fails to run. When run
in e.g. xterm it yields the following output:

/opt/skype/skype: /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6/libstdc++.so.6:
version `CXXABI_1.3.1' not found (required by /opt/skype/skype)
/opt/skype/skype: /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6/libstdc++.so.6:
version `GLIBCXX_3.4.4' not found (required by /opt/skype/skype)

The system isn't too much fresh, it has 4 years long history. But it
has been systematically updated. Once it had gcc slot switched what
required to have libstdc++ package "temporarily" installed.

What should I do now to bring the Skype to work?
