Intel C++ compiler cannot find headers after Ubuntu updates

Question

I am using Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and I just ran an

apt upgrade

This is the corresponding entry in /var/log/apt/history.log :

After I did that I tried to build a project using CMake, which told me that the Intel OneAPI C++ compiler (icpx, version 2022.2.1) is broken and cannot compile a simple test program.

So I tried to compile a simple 'hello-world' program using the <cstdio> header, which gave me the error

fatal error: 'cstdio' file not found

If I use the C-header <stdio.h> instead I get

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lstdc++: No such file or directory

Using the GNU C++ compiler, everything works just fine.

Does anyone have the same problem or know what happened here and how to fix it? Thank you in advance.

As per the system requirements of oneAPI C++ compilers, Ubuntu 22.04 is not a supported OS.
This may be the possible reason for your issue. You can try the supported operating systems.
Please refer to the below link for supported Operating systems: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/system-requirements/intel-oneapi-dpcpp-system-requirements.html
