I am using gcc-11. I tried to reinstall the llvm, and it doesn't work.

Hi @AnonymousAuthor000, the error message indicates that clang cannot link against the C++ standard library. Have you checked whether you can compile a simple program using clang++ or g++? If that does not work I suggest you to try re-installing g++ as clang++ uses the standard libraray implementation from g++. If that does not work, you may want to try out using libc++ instead of libstdc++ which is an alterantive stanrdary library implementation provided by LLVM.

Hey @AnonymousAuthor000 I'm also on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. This worked for me! (Solution 1, top comment)

[fabianbs96]

@rezaarezvan, thank you for pointing that out! @AnonymousAuthor000 does that work for you?

[AnonymousAuthor000]

I will try, thanks for your reply.

I installed the libstdc++-12-dev, the problem now is solved. Thanks for all your information.
