g++ cant find cstdlib (fatal error: cstdlib: No such file or directory)

You have mis-spelled the include name in your program. You have csdtlib and it should be cstdlib - the t and d are reversed.

    Im trying to compile the very simple c++ Program

    //Programm, um Celcius in Fahrenheit umzurechnen
    // F=C*(212-32)/100+32
    #include <cstdio>
    #include <csdtlib>
    #include <iostream>
    
    using namespace std;
    
    int main(int numberofArgs, char*pszArgs[])
    {
    //Temperatur in C eingeben
    int celcius;
    cout<<"Geben Sie die Temperatur in Celcius ein: ";
    cin>>celcius;
    
    //Umrechnungsfaktor Berechnen
    int factor;
    factor=(212-32)/100;
    
    //Umrechnen
    int fahrenheit;
    fahrenheit=celcius*factor-32;
    
    //Ergebnis und Zeilenumbruch ausgeben
    cout<<"entspricht in Fahrenheit: ";
    cout<<fahrenheit<<endl;
    
    //Warte bis Benutzer Ergebnis gelesen hat und Programm beendet
    system("PAUSE");
    return 0;
    }
    

    after typing

    g++ TestConversion.cpp -o conversion
    

    in the terminal, it returns

    TestConversion.cpp:4:19: fatal error: csdtlib: No such file or directory
    compilation terminated.
    

    in my system, cstdlib can be found in

    /usr/include/c++/5
    

    and in

    /usr/include/c++/5.4.0
    

    (5 and 5.4.0 are the only directories contained in /usr/include/c++)

    therefore i have also tried

    g++ -I /usr/include/c++/5 TestConversion.cpp -o conversion
    

    and

    g++ -I /usr/include/c++/5.4.0 TestConversion.cpp -o conversion
    

    which leads to the same result as above. I also tried

    g++ -I /usr/include/c++/5.4.0/cstdlib  TestConversion.cpp -o conversion
    

    which probably makes no sense, since the result was

    cc1plus: warning: /usr/include/c++/5.4.0/cstdlib: not a directory
    TestConversion.cpp:4:19: fatal error: csdtlib: No such file or directory
    compilation terminated
    

    (with the sme happening if 5.4.0 is replaced by 5).

    I also installed clang to check if i could compile the program with it, but i had the same problem. The command

    clang TestConversion.cpp -o conversion
    

    produced

    TestConversion.cpp:4:10: fatal error: 'csdtlib' file not found
    #include <csdtlib>
             ^
    1 error generated.
    

    I have already re-installed g++ and multilib.

    I am using ubuntu 16.04 and have, as it may have become obvious, very little experience with programming and gcc/g++.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'll gladly provide any further details if they're useful.
