As it is a 32-bit application, my guess is that you have to install
the 32-bit version of libstdc++6.  i.e., there are two of them:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/libstdc++6

You can have both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions installed.  I don't
know what it looks like on 10.04, but on 14.04, one has ":i386" after.

i   libstdc++6                                   - GNU Standard C++
Library v3
c   libstdc++6:i386                              - GNU Standard C++
Library v3

I haven't had this problem with libstdc++, but one problem I've had
before is that I had it installed but for reasons which I didn't quite
understand, the program was looking at it at a different location.
(strace <the program>) would probably help here.  I usually solve that
by adding a symbolic link.

That's all I can think of at this time...  Maybe you can put the
output of strace to see anyone here notices anything?
