how to find the source and the destination directories to build a symbolic linked file to fix a common simulation error on Linux [Error 255] - /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lstdc++

this is the very common error while you are doing a simulation on Linux:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lstdc++ collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I know that I should use this command to fix it:

ln -s (source directory of file file name) (desired destination directory)

But, still I have these problems:

1. I am confused with two different libstdc++ files:

libstdc++.so.6.0.17 libstdc++.so.6

and three different directories:

/usr/local/MATLAB/R2013a/sys/os/glnxa64/

/usr/local/MATLAB/R2013a/bin/glnxa64

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/

I have used different commands, now I have these files:

file name: libstdc++.so.6 type: link to shared library directory: /usr/local/MATLAB/R2013a/bin/glnxa64

file name: libstdc++.so.6.0.17 type: shared library directory: /usr/local/MATLAB/R2013a/sys/os/glnxa64/

I don't have such a directory in my computer: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/

2- I am not sure about the destination directory since I don't know how to use mex -v to build an output message, however, it seems that the destination should be /usr/local/MATLAB/R2014a/bin/glnxa64 based on the matlab message error:

gmake: * [syncbuck_OL_sfun.mexa64] Error 255

3- I am not sure about the source directory. There is no such a path: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu in my computer. A similar one is: /usr/lib/x86_64-redhat-Linux5E. But, I couldn't find the mentioned files there. I guess the source directory is: /usr/local/MATLAB/R2013a/sys/os/glnxa64
