It was the required file, libstdc++.so.5, that was needed. Now, however I
cannot connect to the database (even using localhost:pathtodb) because it says
permission denied. I check the permissions of the database file and it
definitely has read/write and since I'm just throwing stuff against the wall at
this point, execute permissions are granted for everyone on that file.

Any clues would be appreciated.
