Bharat Bhat asked us the very same question on Monday, and I explained
to him:

| Well, this is a pretty clear error message isn't it? The
| libstdc++.so.6 shared library is missing in your target root file
| system.

I also pointed out:

| Also, there is a tool called "Root File System Builder" (RFSB)

| This helps to prevent such errors.

Bharat Bhat asked this before, too, and I replied:

| You must of course use the respective files from the ELDK installation
| tree.

The solution in your case reequires several steps:

1) Read the documentation:
   http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/Manual?stickboard=canyonlands

2) Download the ELDK (unless you already have received it on CD with
   your 460EX board)

3) Install the ELDK. Follow the documentation step by step.

4) Copy the C++ libraries from your ELDK installation tree to your
   target root file system. If you use the recommended installation
   directory "/opt/eldk/", then the C++ libraries can be found in

   /opt/eldk/ppc_4xxFP/lib/libstdc++.a
   /opt/eldk/ppc_4xxFP/lib/libstdc++.la
   /opt/eldk/ppc_4xxFP/lib/libstdc++.so
   /opt/eldk/ppc_4xxFP/lib/libstdc++.so.6
   /opt/eldk/ppc_4xxFP/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.9


Best regards,
