Help needed - moving from Clang 3.1 to 3.3

[Arbalest]

I'm embarrassed to ask this but I can't tell if this is a configuration problem or an installation problem -- or how to deal with either.

I just upgraded clang from 3.1 to 3.1 (downloaded the .tar.bz2, opened archive, copied directories to corresponding places in /usr). Now when I compile the simple test program (which worked before) I get this

/usr/bin/clang++: 1: /usr/bin/clang++: Syntax error: "(" unexpected and I don't think it is referring to the source code.

Can someone point me in the right direction on this?

I am using CodeLite 5.1 on Ubuntu 12.04

what happens when you compile it outside of codelite?
try:
clang++ main.cpp

Good idea. The exact same thing happens.

For good measure I tried it with source code like this:

Code: Select all

int main(int c, char **v) { return 0; }

The same happens. I'll try copying the Clang files to the appropriate directories one more time - but any advice is appreciated.

=== update ===

I've tried every which way to install 3.3 short of building from source. There is always some problem or other so I'll just stay with 3.2. Thanks.

The previously available LaunchPad PPA for Clang-3.3 was problematic for me but the new one here worked just fine.

As a general note to others who come across this thread, the new compiler executable is called clang-3.3 (and clang++-3.3). Rather than renaming it "clang" (so the IDE can find it) it seemed like a better idea for me to change the compiler name (under Settings > Build Settings) so I can switch back and forth among versions.
