No luck at all :(

2 things I dont understand

-) libsc++.so.5, i do not know of such a file, but I think its a typo. Just
to be sure, you did mean libstdc++.so.5, didn't you?

-) so.1, again I file I don't have. Should I have it?

I did try to copy the libstdc++.so.5 to the directory you referred to. The
game indeed found the lib, but it was just another way to reach the same
goal that I did by creating the symbolic link. The result was almost the
same, the only thing that changed was the error message, which now referred
to the copied library (so it DOES find the file, but it seems to be an
incorrect version). 

Did you succeed?
