If you press the 3 keys --- CTRL+ALT+T simultaneously, you will be able to open the Terminal. Copy & Paste the following line in that Terminal

lsb_release -a; uname -a

Hit the ENTER Key. You will get an output. It will be about the Release, Description etc. Copy & Paste the output in the Message box below. This is essential to give you directions.

You are using Saucy. Did you mean Trusty?

sudo apt-get install libc++-dev
installs old buggy libc++ version 1.0~svn181765-1

"You are using Saucy. Did you mean Trusty?"
This question senseless to me.
Yes, im using Saucy. That's all i can say about it.

Then I suggest you report a bug. It may get the version in Saucy upgraded

I read the question

These words confused me. OK then.

"Then I suggest you report a bug."
What is the reason to report a bug that is already fixed?

Ok, it's maybe not that obvious like i was thinking before.
If you follow the link above, you shall notice that "Latest upload: 1.0~svn199600-1"
But, typing apt-get install libc++-dev, im getting 1.0~svn181765-1

Because the fixed version is in Trusty. You are using Saucy which is not Trusty and doesn't have the fixed version. If you report a bug it will alert the developers to upgrade the broken version in Saucy to the same version in Trusty.
