The shared library is not in the runtime linker's search path. You need to build PPL without shared libs or use one of the methods listed at http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/using_dynamic_or_shared.html#manual.intro.using.linkage.dynamic to tell the runtime linker how to find the library.
