It depends on the platform.  On OS X 10.6, download this library:

http://home.roadrunner.com/~hinnant/libcppabi.zip

and copy it into /usr/lib .

This is a low-level library that takes care of things like typeinfo and exception propagation.  Once that is taken care of:

$ clang++ -stdlib=libc++ test.cpp

This will assume that /usr/lib/libc++.dylib exists.  And the libc++ headers should be installed at /usr/include/c++/v1/ .

If you need to build libc++.dylib, cd into libcxx/lib and execute ./buildit .

I have no experience on running libc++ on other platforms.
