After a dist-upgrade of my Linux Mint (to Olivia), I ran into the same problems.
Your fix (renaming all c++/4.7 directory to something like c++/4.7_old) fixed it. Just my directories were /usr/include/c++/4.7/ and /usr/include/i386-linux-gnu/c++/4.7/ . But that was easy to find. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to gcc-4.8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1244021 Title: After upgrading to 13.10, clang and GCC erroneously look for GCC-4.7 headers Status in “gcc-4.8” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I'm a Firefox developer. 13.04 was working fine. I upgraded to 13.10 and now I can't compile Firefox with either clang or GCC. Here's a reduced test case: #include <memory> int main(void) {} If I compile this with clang I get this: [fjord:~/moz/mi5] clang++ a.cpp In file included from a.cpp:1: In file included from /usr/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.8/../../../../include/c++/4.8/memory:62: /usr/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.8/../../../../include/c++/4.8/bits/allocator.h:92:29: error: unknown template name '__allocator_base' class allocator: public __allocator_base<_Tp> ^ /usr/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.8/../../../../include/c++/4.8/bits/allocator.h:116:25: error: expected '(' : __allocator_base<_Tp>(__a) { } ^ /usr/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.8/../../../../include/c++/4.8/bits/allocator.h:116:25: error: expected '{' or ',' 3 errors generated. The results with GCC are similar. I found the problem is that both clang and GCC are somehow configured to look for some GCC 4.7 headers as well as GCC 4.8 headers -- both of them have |-I/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux- gnu/4.7/../../../../include/x86_64-linux-gnu/c++/4.7| hardwired in the default flags. As a workaround, I renamed /usr/include/c++/4.7/ and /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/c++/4.7/ so the compilers could no longer find them, and now things are working normally. But obviously this should be fixed properly.
