usr/bin/ld: cannot find -l:/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6

Hi,
I've tried to compile a program and received the following error:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -l:/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6

but when I type:

$ locate libstdc++.so.6
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.19
/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6
/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.19
/usr/share/gdb/auto-load/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.19-gdb.py
/usr/share/gdb/auto-load/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.19-gdb.pyc
/usr/share/gdb/auto-load/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.19-gdb.pyo
/usr/share/gdb/auto-load/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.19-gdb.py
/usr/share/gdb/auto-load/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.19-gdb.pyc
/usr/share/gdb/auto-load/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.19-gdb.pyo

it is a 32bit program and I'm working on a 64bit CentOS 7 but installed libstdc++.i686 and libstdc++-devel.i686
I've tried creating symbolic links and tried updating LD_PATH with no luck.
Thank you

That doesn't look right. Whenever I've seen messages like that they say e.g. cannot find -lnetsnmp and that means it's looking for libnetsnmp.so. Yours has the full path in there so I'd check your makefile is correct.
