Locating iOStream in Clang++: Fatal Error: 'iOStream' File Not Found

Locating iostream in Clang++: fatal error: 'iostream' file not found

I have also been troubled by this problem for a long time.You should try to delete the folder(cd /usr/lib/gcc/aarch64-linux-gnu/8). The reason why clang++ can't work is this folder doesn't contain libstdc++.a.

clang version 6.0.0-1ubuntu2 (tags/RELEASE_600/final)

check all the folders in /usr/lib/gcc/aarch64-linux-gnu/
clang++ will choose the last one,make sure there is the libstdc++.a in the last one

Clang doesn't see basic headers

Point 3 solved the problem for me.

1.
Had the same issue, fedora 21::clang 3.5.0:

clang++ -std=c++14 -pedantic -Wall test_01.cpp -o test_01 -v

2.

Fatal error: iostream: No such file or directory in compiling C program using GCC

Neither <iostream> nor <iostream.h> are standard C header files. Your code is meant to be C++, where <iostream> is a valid header. Use a C++ compiler such as clang++ or g++ (and a .cpp file extension) for C++ code.

Alternatively, this program uses mostly constructs that are available in C anyway. It's easy enough to convert the entire program to compile using a C compiler. Simply remove #include <iostream> and using namespace std;, and replace cout << endl; with putchar('\n');... I advise compiling using C99, C11 or C18 (eg. gcc -std=c99, clang -std=c18 etc)
