Sorry - but I think its really bad practice to just refer people to 
random, unknown repositories for common software...

In a nutshell, the version of libstdc++ seems to be rather old that 
Google are using. SL has:

# yum whatprovides libstdc++.so.6
libstdc++-4.4.7-3.el6.i686 : GNU Standard C++ Library
Repo        : sl6x
Matched from:
Other       : libstdc++.so.6

I'd recommend is using chromium if you don't rely on any Google-only 
features.

There is a thread about this on the SL forums:
