libg++ does not exist in NetBSD 1.4.
If you need this library for compatibility with 1.3.x binaries, use the
`emulators/compat13' pkg; you'll need the older libstdc++ from that pkg too.
If you need this library for new development, use the `devel/libg++' pkg;
that library has become `unsupported' by the FSF, so it was removed from the
NetBSD source tree. The pkg version of libg++ is compatible with the
compiler (egcs) in 1.4.
If you think you need this library for ANSI C++ based programs, you don't.
The ANSI C++ library is libstdc++, which is automatically linked when you
use the `c++' or `g++' programs.
