[CastXML] Building CastXML on a linux machine

[Uğur Büyükdurak]

I have found the package and downloaded it. When I tried to install I am
getting the following error,

Preparing to unpack castxml_0.1+git20150807-1_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking castxml (0.1+git20150807-1) over (0.1+git20150807-1) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of castxml:
 castxml depends on libstdc++6 (>= 5.2); however:
  Version of libstdc++6:amd64 on system is 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04.

dpkg: error processing package castxml (--install):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Processing triggers for man-db (2.6.7.1-1ubuntu1) ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
 castxml

Someone says this is because castxml is built in a distro that is higher
than 14.04?
Do you know any way to fix this problem?

Thank you,
