Tips for resolving Ubuntu 22.04/24.04 build issues:

1. Make sure you have the following system-level dependencies installed:

   sudo apt install pkg-config build-essential fontconfig libfontconfig1-dev
   

2. Verify that pkg-config can detect libstdc++ properly:

   pkg-config --libs libstdc++
   

3. If libstdc++ is not detected, add the symbolic link:

   sudo ln -s /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/11/libstdc++.so /usr/lib/libstdc++.so
