if you try to install latest version of robomobo that call be now robo3t. Or you try install on ubuntu 16.04 follow the below step and your robomongo install

Download latest robomongo tar file

wget https://download.robomongo.org/1.1.1/linux/robo3t-1.1.1-linux-x86_64-c93c6b0.tar.gz

Extract it

tar -xvzf https://download.robomongo.org/1.1.1/linux/robo3t-1.1.1-linux-x86_64-c93c6b0.tar.gz

Make a directory

mkdir ~/robo-backup

Move robo3t-1.1.1-linux-x86_64-c93c6b0/lib/libstdc++ direcotry to ~/robo-backup/ direcotory

mv robo3t-1.1.1-linux-x86_64-c93c6b0/lib/libstdc++* ~/robo-backup/

Run the robo3t

robo3t-1.1.1-linux-x86_64-c93c6b0/bin/robo3t

Simply remove the lib/libstdc++* will work.
