What version of FreeBSD are you using?
What version of linux_base package are you using?

I cannot see this library in my computers...

If it is part of Linux emulation package, why dont you extract it from
there?  you know:

cd /
tar xvzf linux_base_{your_version}.tgz "usr/lib/libstdcc++.so.5"


you wrote double "c" is that correct?
