Ubuntu

I am not able to run flutter application (linux development)

Asked by Ali_Niaz

I am facing a problem last two days..
I want to use flutter for Linux development (as it is part of college course), all of the requirements is full filled that flutter wants.
(Here is my flutter doctor)
```
Linux toolchain - develop for Linux desktop
    • Ubuntu clang version 14.0.0-1ubuntu1
    • cmake version 3.22.1
    • ninja version 1.10.1
    • pkg-config version 0.29.2

[!] Android Studio (not installed)
    • Android Studio not found; download from
      https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html
      (or visit https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/install/linux#android-setup
      for detailed instructions).

[✓] VS Code (version 1.77.3)
    • VS Code at /usr/share/code
    • Flutter extension version 3.62.0

[✓] Connected device (1 available)
    • Linux (desktop) • linux • linux-x64 • Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS 5.19.0-40-generic

[✓] HTTP Host Availability
    • All required HTTP hosts are available
```

below is the problem with clang

```

For diagnostic purposes, what is the output that you receive for the following commands:

uname -a
lsb_release -crid
dpkg -l | grep clang
apt policy libstdc++6 libstdc++-11-dev
ls -l /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/11/libstdc++*

The output is listed below all from 1 to 5. I just tried to format a bit to improve readability (i didn't change any thing).

Digging further based on your previous output, what is the output of the commands

apt policy libstdc++-12-dev
ls -l /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/12/libstdc++*
ls -l /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++*

I run the following command
-------------------------------------------------------
sudo apt-get install libstdc++-12-dev
-------------------------------------------------------

and after run your command.

(The above is the result of 2nd command)

So this time with a different error msg.
