Linking using g++ fails searching for -lstdc++

Question

I\'m trying to use someone else\'s Makefile to complile a very simple c++ library. The makefile is as follows:

JNIFLAGS=-O2 -pthread -I/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-su         


        

Answer 1

Answering my own question:

Ths solution seems to be a bit of a hack, you need to create a symlink for the 32 bit version of the library (after installing the packages mentioned in @nos's answer):

$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib32/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib32/libstdc++.so

Once you've done this, the linker will automagically find the correct library to use.
