Doesnt build on Ubuntu 18.04 about peits HOT 10 OPEN

Dear Jimbles,
Have you overcome this issue yet?
Thank you in advance.

Hey,
Im afraid not, I had to get back to some real work so I havent had a chance to look into this again. it looks like you might be able to add it to configure.ac like here but i havent got round to checking it yet.
How would you like to use PEITS?

I am playing with a utilization of EIT for structural health monitoring.
Thanks to your contribution in thread "Doesn't build on Ubuntu 16.x" I am running PEITS on Ubuntu 16.04 currently.
So, great thanks.

Oh good, I'm glad you got it working. Please let know how you get on using it!

Looking to build in my Ubuntu18 VM.

from peits.

As a matter of fact, @Jimbles , is there any reason for being bounded to any particular dependency version ? Would it make sense to try the ones that come natively with Ubuntu18 ?

from peits.

Thinking of gcc8, gfortran8, newer versions of MPI etc...

from peits.

Agreed that it would be better to try and get it to work with the native Ubuntu libraries - I don't think there is any reason not to.

OK, I am trying to install it with the above versions to see if that is working. If I get a successful install, I'll see with the native Ubuntu18 libs.

from peits.

I agree! Native libraries is much better, I think I was looking for a hack, as if there were anything more involved about changing the code to work with 18.04 I wouldnt be equipped to do
