I think he did download the binary and didn't have the runtime library (he never mentioned source and if you look at the package name it's architecture specific), but even if he wasn't using the binary there's tons of reasons to compile from source. He could be using third party patches, developing it, testing it, using it to learn how to code, or any one of an infinite number of posibilities.

Search on your system for libstdc++* and make a link to it at /lib/ibstdc++.so.6. It's a crude hack but often works. You might fool Blender. Then you can download from the Blender website the binary if the RPM thinks it needs the libstdc++ package.
