Hi,

I'm trying to compile and build a library which must be linked with the libstdc++.
But I have the following error :
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lstdc++

I don't understand : I installed the latest gcc, g++ and libstdc++ versions (debian packages) : gcc-3.3, g++-3 and libstdc++-3.

Do you have an idea in order to solve this problem ?

Thanks for your help !

You may have a version number mismatch or something similar. Take a look and see what you actually have installed:
find /usr/lib -iname "*libstdc++*"
and look to see what libraries are included in the dynamic link list, /etc/ld.so.config

Here is the result of find /usr/lib -iname "*libstdc++*":

/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.5
/usr/lib/libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so
/usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/3.0.4/libstdc++.so
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/3.0.4/libstdc++.a
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.95.4/libstdc++.so
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.95.4/libstdc++.a
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5
/usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.a.3
/usr/lib/libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.a
/usr/lib/libstdc++-3-libc6.1-2-2.10.0.so
/usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.3.0.4
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.3


and here is my ld.so.conf:
/usr/lib
/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/lib/GNUstep/System/Libraries/ix86/linux-gnu
/usr/lib/GNUstep/System/Libraries/ix86/linux-gnu/gnu-gnu-gnu

I think, as you told me, that there is a problem of version :
What is the best way to solve it ?

Thanks in advance

Do you have a libstdc++.so? (I can't see it in your list)

If not you should create a symbolic link. Here's how my symbolic link looks like: libstdc++.so -> libstdc++.so.5.0.5*

Also, have you made the system aware of it by running ldconfig?

I created the symbolic link and it works now :-)

Many thanks for your help.
