Similar problem happened for me on Catalina10.15.7 + gcc10.2 (homebrew), and CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH method from Lin Weiye didn't work somehow.

Manually changing line 140 of ostream header from

include <locale>

to

include "locale"

did work. This will stop ostream from looking for locale executable via PATH, and force to look locale header in the same directory where ofstream header is.

CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH environment variable has an incorrect value.

Simple fix:

export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=":/usr/local/include"
