take a deep breath and consider that it's not linux that's pissing you
off, it's the fact that you don't understand it yet.

if you type...

rpm -qa|grep libstdc

you will get a list of rpm's that are installed that relate to the
libstdc.

This will most certainly include
libstdc++-2.96-112
libstdc++-devel-2.96-112

you can't change one without changing the other. Not sure why you would
want to change either without knowing what you are doing as probably
this is a Redhat installation.

For basic updates on redhat, you should stick with up2date until you get
comfortable with the system.

i.e. to install uw-imap...

up2date imap

it would be helpful, if you gave just a few more bits of information
when asking the questions... i.e. distro & version, what you are trying
to accomplish - not just the command that doesn't work.
