  1. Don't use wide strings on Linux. You don't need them..

  2. What happens that it tries to convert wide string to normal one and for this creates a locale and probably this locale is not configured in your system.

    Bring output of commands:

    locale 
locale -a
  3. GCC-4.6 wasn't released yet ;-), check if this works with ordinary compiler. Probably libstdc++ wasn't build well.
