Using ubuntu 22.04, g++ can compile my test program with no issues. clang++ on the other hand will fail with...

main.cpp:1:10: fatal error: 'iostream' file not found
#include <iostream>
         ^~~~~~~~~~
1 error generated.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
  cout << "hello world" << endl;
  return 0;
}

I also have a cmake/c++ project that will compile just fine with gcc, but when I reconfigure it to use clang I get the following output from cmake.

~/C/vkf % cmc && cmake ./ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -G "Ninja" && ninja

&quot;/usr/bin/clang++&quot;




is not able to compile a simple test program.


It fails with the following output:


Change Dir: /home/david/C/vkf/CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp

in my CMakeError.log

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lstdc++: No such file or directory

Something must have been changed in my system configuration, because both of these worked fine before. Does anyone know how to fix it?

Try removing cpp-12 package or install libstdc++-12-dev.

I fixed it a very similar issue I had by installing libc++abi-dev:

sudo apt install libc++abi-dev

I solved it on Ubuntu 24.04 by installing libc++-dev:

sudo apt-get install libc++-dev
