Mex compiling on 64 bit linux - /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lstdc++

Question

Okay I am trying to compile a mex file on 64 bit linux, ubuntu to be precise with Matlab 2013a.

First it gave a error that it could not find GLIBCXX_3.4.15

Answer 1

I had the same problem and this worked for me

Navigate to the following path cd /usr/local/MATLAB/R2013a/sys/os/glnxa64/, (your path might varies) then remove the libstdc library (or safer rename it)

sudo mv libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6.old

I have the same configuration, Ubuntu Linux 64 bit with Matlab 2013a
