clang doesn't find stdc++ headers

[Giulio Collura]

When i try to run a simple c++ program like:
#include <iostream>
int main() {
std::cout << "HelloWorld" << std::endl;
return 0;

This is the verbose output:
$ clang++ test.cpp -o test -v

I'm currently running raring amd64.

This type of error doesn't occur with .c source files (using clang of course).
Clang++ used to work on raring perfectly till around 09 march (I think. However it always worked on my raring installation)
If you need more information, please feel free to contact me.
Thanks for your precious time and work,
Have a nice day

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Benjamin Botwin (thecodethinker)]

can someone please be assigned to this.

I'm having the same problem in Ubuntu 14.04, and I've managed to blame it on gccgo-4.9 (gccgo) somehow.

My symptoms were like this: clang++ can't find any stl headers, seems to find C headers ok, but the linker can't find `-lstdc++`. It seemed to affect all the clang-3.x packages.

I tracked it down by installing every package I had one by one onto a VM until a simple C++ file stopped compiling successfully. It broke on installing `gccgo` which points you at `gccgo-4.9` in 14.04. Uninstalling gccgo-4.9 meant clang++ would work normally again.

Anyway I'm curious if that's the culprit for others.
