How to link it to YouCompleteMe version of Clang about ycm-generator

[soulslicer]

I installed Clang but I appear to be getting an error saying I don't have clang

ERROR: Could not find clang++ at 'clang++'. Please make sure it is installed and specified appropriately.

I do have clang++ installed and I am able to enter it into the terminal

First of all, YCM-Generator doesn't touch libclang at all - that's purely a YCM thing. Secondly, libclang actually has nothing to do with the error you're getting.

That error message is produced when YCM-Gen runs which clang++ and it fails. Given where it's failing, it looks like it's able to find clang, but not clang++. Could you please run which clang and which clang++ and let me know what their output is?

Ok, so it seems that YCM-Gen only searches for clang/clang++ ? When I installed clang, the binaries got installed at clang++-3.6. Doing a hard link solved the problem. Very strange

Hi soulslicer,
How did you create hard link to clang++-3.6?

I used this

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/clang-6.0 /usr/bin/clang
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/clang++-6.0 /usr/bin/clang++
