Thorsten,
let me cross-post this to the deal.II mailing list.

What the error message is saying is that in order to execute the 
expand_instantiations program (a program we compile as part of deal.II and 
need it during the process of building deal.II), it is looking for the two 
mention shared libraries -- which are C++ support libraries provided by the 
compiler.

My suspicion is the following:
1/ It requires two different ones because, possibly, you are compiling 
deal.II, Trilinos and/or p4est with different versions of the compiler, and it 
requires version 3.4.15 from the compiler used for deal.II and 3.4.14 is 
required for the Trilinos libraries, for example.

2/ It finds neither of these libraries because you are on a cluster where the 
frontend node (where we are trying to execute 'expand_instantiations') has a 
different operating system than the compute nodes (for which the compiler you 
call creates executables, unfortunately including the 'expand_instantiations' 
script that we need to execute on the frontend node, not the compute nodes).

Does any of this ring a bell?

Best
  Wolfgang
