[SOLVED] How can I install libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 for Eternal SPU?

Question

I know I need to add a repository using yum-config-manager --add-repo but I don't know what repository? I tried searching google for the debian repositories but I could not find an appropriate url. Can I even use yum in arch?

You are trying to use yum on Arch Linux with Debian repositories?  I think you are a bit confused here.
It is not a good idea to have more than one thing managing packages on a given system.  That said, it still does make sense to have a different package manager in some cases.  For example, if you wanted to create a chroot of a different distribution, you could use that other distribution's package manager to install the system to the desired location.
Maybe it would be helpful if you actually indicated what it was you were trying to accomplish, and not just the point at which you are stuck.  Give us a frame of reference of what the overall goal of using yum on Arch might be.
Edit: BTW, to add to the first sentence of my post here.  Yum is the Red Hat/Fedora/rpm package manager, while Debian uses the aptitude/apt-get/deb package management system.  So you are effectively trying to use repos with *.deb files with a package manager that requires *.rpm packages.
Yeah, it probably would have been more effective to explain what I am trying to do since I didn't fully understand what yum even was.. Basically, I am trying to get ePSXe to work with eternal spu but it keeps crashing and saying "libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory[steven@" I assume that means I need to install a dependency. As I understand from a random forum post it is part of the compat-libstdc++-296 package which is installed though yum.
EDIT: Also I should mention that I already tried installing libstdc++ from official repositories and AUR by they didn't work. I assume the version is the problem.
