I am using Ubuntu.
When programming in C++, the nullptr keyword is not recognized by the compiler.
It says it's not declared at this scope.
It doesn't work, even though I set the flag -std=c++11.

It would be helpful if you could state what compiler you are using.– Faheem MithaNov 2, 2014 at 23:06

C++11 isn't a compiler, but an ISO standard implemented by a number of popular compilers. The default C++ compiler on Ubuntu is g++ from the GNU Compiler Collection. As you mentioned in your question, the -std=c++11 flag enables C++11 features in g++ as well as Clang, another C++ compiler available on Ubuntu.
The error message you see is shown when C++11 support is either not enabled or not supported by your compiler. GCC 4.6 was the first version to support nullptr, so if you are using an earlier version, you will not be able to use nullptr. Use g++ --version to obtain the version installed.
Assuming you are using at least GCC 4.6, you will need to determine why your build system is not passing the correct flags to the compiler. In CMake, for example, you will need to use:
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -std=c++11")

1The order of arguments is wrong. It should be
g++ program.cpp -o run -std=c++11Nov 3, 2014 at 0:19 -
