C++ configure: error: *** stdc++ library not found

#1 Post by syzygy »

has anyone else tried to .configure something & got :-

"checking for cout in -lstdc++...no"
"configure: error: *** stdc++ library not found" ??

as i've downloaded & installed libstdc++-5&6, and have usr_devx.sfs i'm bemused. is it that configure file is looking for libraries in "non-puppy" place?

cheers

'ls -l linked-file' without the quotes would show where the link is pointing.
use 'ln -s actual-file linked-file' to create a new link.

Could be the header files being in the wrong place, but I guess that too is a waste of time mentioning as you've thrown your hands up in the air.

no, i'm still pottering around. i was however curious if anyone had encountered specific error of missing C++ library.

Are the header files (*.h) included in the package you installed ?

If they are not included they wont be installed (lol...no magic ) and these files are what configure checks for.

It's perhaps a case of what a mate called "ID 10T". i.e. idiot. I presumed that when the config file said that stdc++ library not found, that it couldn't find G++, not it's own header files.

No it's cool the message can be a bit misleading, but now you know something new, hopefully it wont push something old out.
