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

You created the link libstdc++.so.6 in /usr/local/MATLAB/R2013a/bin/glnxa64 to the library in your system, installed by apt-get install libstdc++6-4.4-dev .

Now try creating also a link named libstdc++.so to libstdc++.so.6 in /usr/local/MATLAB/R2013a/bin/glnxa64.
