libc.so.6 error while compiling C++ program

I am a complete beginner in C++ and trying to run my first program.

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    std::cout << "Hello world!";
    return 0;
}

Then I run, in the terminal:

g++ first.cpp

But it gives me this error:

/home/shikhar/anaconda3/bin/ld: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: undefined reference to `_dl_exception_create@GLIBC_PRIVATE'
/home/shikhar/anaconda3/bin/ld: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: undefined reference to `_dl_audit_symbind_alt@GLIBC_PRIVATE'

I am using Linux Mint 21.2. \

I am unable to understand any solutions on the internet for similar errors.

Solution

  • The problem was using the compiler through anaconda. Deactivating anaconda then compiling worked.

    conda deactivate
