Let’s review the problem. I’ve got this on a number of occasions and different libraries. Here are some typical error conditions.
./mysql-workbench-bin: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.5' not found (required by ./mysql-workbench-bin) Error: Missing Dependency: libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4.6) is needed by package glibmm24
Special thanks to my new Guru friend Alfredo who put me on the path.

Woot! It was that simple, download the rpm source, compile and install.
What does this ultimately mean? Well, something in your OS configuration isn’t the same as the platform used to build the rpm’s. In my case, I’m running CentOS 4.2, which was been upgraded from CentOS 4.0 via the Network Notification Tool. I’m also trying to install a Fedora FC4 rpm, on a RHEL platform. Anyway, it’s a simple solution and it works and that’s all we need for those that get stuck with this problem.
A detailed History of the problem

So doing some investigation.
