libg++ is not maintained already for a long time and is not compatible
with gcc-3.X. lgp2952b.zip is for gcc-2.95.2, lgp2953b.zip for gcc-2.95.3.

One could try to port Integer and Rational classes for current
GCC versions. A long time ago I did similar thing to use them with
ancient Borland C++ 3.1 for DOS (most mess was then due to smaller size of
int). I used them for one my own specialized computer algebra package

Other way is to write some C++ wrapper for example for GMP (maybe one
exists, I don't know)
