Incorrect linkage. ld: cannot find -lstdc++ and can't load .so/.DLL for: stdc++

[Tiago Cogumbreiro]

This package is broken.

$ ghc --make foo.hs
Linking foo ...
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lstdc++
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

From 'ghci' I get this:

Loading package llvm-0.8.0.2 ... can't load .so/.DLL for: stdc++ (libstdc++.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)

Somehow it is linked to an incorrect file 'libstdc++.so' instead of to 'libstdc++.so.6'.

Dirty hack to fix it:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++.so{.6,}

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

The suggested symbolic link did not work for me under onieric x86_64. Instead this link solves this problem:

    sudo ln -s /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.6/libstdc++.so /usr/lib/libstdc++.so

However, another bug then stops me from using the package.

This package has been removed from the Ubuntu development release, so I am closing all remaining open bug reports.
