You'll need the Standard C++ libraries installed. On my computer, the
package installed is libstdc++-7-dev
That is specific to g++ version 7. You can find out your g++'s version with
this command:-
g++ --version
For future problems, try the ACCU. The ACCU (formerly the Association of C
and C++ Users) has a very useful e-mail mailing list called accu-general
and the people on that list are friendly and know more about C++ than me.
HTH,
