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 none of the posted solutions worked for me (i.e. deleting or adding new symlinks), and it turned out that I hadn't installed the appropriate compiler package!

For me, the solution was:

sudo yum install gcc-g++

I'm running MATLAB 2014b on 64-bit Linux (RHEL 6).
