libstdc++.so.5 is an old library which many distributions include in their repositories for compatibility reasons. You can't just create a link to a more recent version. You have to remove the newly created link and install the proper package. Depending on the distribution, it may have different names: for example on OpenSuSE it is compat-libstdc++.

In Fedora it is compat-libstdc++33
